Online SEND and Teacher CPD courses

“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.

“Before I study this course, I did not have much confidence in identifying and managing the students' behaviours but now, I have gained more confidence after finishing this course.

“The training gave me the information and time to explore and develop my own knowledge whilst also thinking about the school I work in. It gave me time to reflect on school policy and procedures as well as my own role and development. The information was clear and user friendly. I think the target sections were very useful in making sure the knowledge I have gained will have an impact on the school and my own development. I have led some training for support staff and we have also looked at the resources we are currently in school. We have also spoken more about mental health between staff and these conversations seem to happen more freely.

“I was able to identify an area of difficulty in a student diagnosed with Dyspraxia and set a SMART goal to provide support in this area. He has already shown some improvements with organisation skills. This training has improved my knowledge and understanding in this area which in turn has improved my confidence in carrying out my role within school.
