“Firstly, would like to say thank you for this course. learning different strategies & good teaching practice to help in classroom for those children who have learning difficulties. Great knowledge!

“The training was very informative. Whilst lots of information was shared it was presented in a very user-friendly way - with lots of visuals, recaps and small quizzes. I particularly enjoyed watching the case studies and where the children detailed lots of ways in which staff both hinder and help them. The fact that training was online and with no time constraints meant that it has been easy for me to dip in and out. The fact that you can scroll back to previous sections was useful especially if there was a long break between training sessions. The course tutor introduced herself at the beginning and made sure we could communicate to her if any problems or questions arose. She also made sure to check in regularly by sending emails and responded quickly to myself and colleagues who at first struggled to answer some questions with regards to our role, she amended the questions and detailed more forum topics which made contributing easier. I look forward to undertaking similar training on a variety of topics.

“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.

“This course has been great for giving ideas and resources for interventions. It has given me a clear understanding of the equipment used and how I will be able to use FM equipment in school. I've enjoyed passing on my knowledge to colleagues and putting it into practice.
