CPD and Inset
Schools can book us to come in to do CPD and inset days.
I have DBS certificates. I have many years of experience in presenting to groups of other educators and professionals. Presentations and training can be provided for companies where they feel the need to support members of staff who have these difficulties.
Topics we can cover with you include;
Teaching One-to-one and Group Lessons for Dyslexia: An Introduction
Teaching One-to-one and Group Lessons for Dyslexia: Planning an Intervention
Teaching One-to-one and Group Lessons for Dyslexia: Secondary School Students
Teaching One-to-one and Group Lessons for Dyscalculia: Primary or Secondary
Maths across the curriculum: How a child with maths difficulties may be struggling in your classroom, what may be causing them to struggle and how you, as their teacher, can help them. What maths anxiety may be doing to their performance and how this will affect their performance on your subject.
This can be done as a science department specific group as well as a more general talk or workshop for all subject areas.
Dyscalculia, what is it and how do I spot it?: This talk or workshop can be done for a maths department group or for the special educational needs department. It can also be presented to primary school teachers across the curriculum and age range. This will help your teachers spot the children who need additional support and identify which kinds of support may help.
Dyslexia, what is it and how do I spot it?: This talk or workshop will help your teachers work out if they need to refer on or call in an expert to support a child and also identify if they need small group or individual support within the classroom. What if it is not dyslexia? How can you tell this apart from over lapping or similar difficulties.
How to avoid maths difficulties in my primary classroom: This is a workshop for primary school teachers, particularly early years. It will introduce you to various ways of teaching all aspects of maths and the order which is most likely to produce the best results. Mindful of the knowledge that many primary teachers in the early years age range may also have their own maths anxiety, this is presented in a practical workshop format. The methods of instruction you will be introduced to are founded on educational research and scientific method.
Behaviour Difficulties in my Class. When is it not just being naughty?; Gain a greater insight into what drives some of the behaviours in your class and avoid confrontations which may end up in exclusions.
