Online SEND and Teacher CPD courses

“This training has helped me to see where deaf pupils may struggle. It has made me much more aware of how I can adapt the environment to better suit the needs of the pupil and has also given me a variety of ideas/tools with which can help pupils with these needs.

“A very timely course after the current lock-down. Supporting Social/emotional mental health & well-being of children in Primary is one of my strengths and reading from up to date & relevant sources was very helpful. Forum questions & statements enabled space to think through issues, rather than just reading through resources. Setting goals shaped my classroom practice, embedding knowledge into practice.

“This training has certainly given me a more in depth understanding of deafness and how this can impact on an individuals learning and communication as well as the support out there for children when starting in educational settings. I am certainly more mindful of my positioning when working with deaf children, such as not sitting in front of a window, which has resulted in the child remaining more focused on me.

“The training introduced me to a variety of visual impairments that I was not aware of. It also explained the different impact each condition might have on an individual, stating how it might differ between each person. I was able to identify new methods for assessment to determine what my students needs were and confidently write SMART goals and interventions to successfully implement these measures. My tutor was only an email away and was very responsive and supportive of my development. Thank you.
