Online SEND and Teacher CPD courses

“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.

“The training has improved my knowledge of the many different types of VI that can affect children and their development. I have learned a great deal about techniques and resources that I can use to support children with VI and I hope to apply some of these skills in my work. I have also learned more about the challenges faced by children with VI and hope to help them overcome these.

“This course has definitely improved my understanding of autistic spectrum disorder. I am applying all my new knowledge in my role as a SEND Assistant. This course has developed my understanding of meet the needs of the children I work with, the appropriate assessment tools to use and effective strategies that can be used. I really appreciate the opportunity to have taken part in this course.

“I will be more confident in the classroom implementing strategies for SLCN and to help them access the learning even more. I would like to be able to come back to this to remind myself of different ways of learning as well as different techniques to continue with.
