Emma Paine

Tuesday 25th August 2020

The course is aimed at:
ALL Teachers
ALL Learning Support staff
ALL teachers/tutors/HLTAs/LSAs/TAs who supports students with ASD, ADD, ADHD Dyslexia & Dyspraxia, as well as students who require additional support in general.
ALL online tutors or those who intend to tutor or support students with additional needs in the future.
Primary & Secondary

We are delighted to be welcoming Emma Paine to talk about ‘SEND Online: Addressing the issues.’ 

Whilst this course approaches the issues that have arisen predominantly with Online learning, it provides a wide range of practical, easy to implement strategies, which can be adopted to support these individual areas, online and in the physical classroom too. These strategies are easily transferable. Without a teacher, an LSA or TA physically being near the student with additional needs, questions arise. How do I prompt? How can I encourage that ADHD student to focus? How do I support independent work? How do I make learning more kinaesthetic? How do I ensure my adaptations and intervention strategies are recorded so that I have evidence of my support? This course provides answers for those and many more questions. Emma adopts a simple approach: What is the concern? What do the specialists recommend? And: How can that be made into a simple, quick and easy-to-use strategy with resource for teachers and support staff? Resources are provided to ensure that you: teachers, support staff and tutors, do not need to ‘create something new’ in order to implement.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch Now” color=”inverse” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FtSdSyYgzuRw|title:Watch%20video|target:%20_blank|”][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_column_text]

Managing Change: How coaching skills can support the return to school.

Making Stuff Better

Wednesday 24th June 2020 16.00 UAE time

We are delighted to be welcoming Matt Hall and Gill Kelly from Making Stuff Better to talk about Managing Change: How coaching skills can support the return to school.

Planning for the return to school is putting a lot of pressure on staff, school leaders and students alike. Often (and understandably) the focus is on the logistics and practicalities. But how do we also prepare for the conversations that need to happen as we all come back together? How can school leaders better support each other and students in their transition to the ‘new normal’? And what opportunities does this time present?

In this Webinar we will explore and explain how the core concepts in coaching can be used to support your school community as they return. Drawing on our work with international schools in China and Singapore we’ll offer a range of practical strategies  that you can apply in your community.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch Now” color=”inverse” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2Fi8gsyxL99Xk|title:Watch%20video|target:%20_blank|”][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_column_text]
