CPD offer
School visits, advice and guidance, in-lesson support
Observations, feedback and written reports
Behaviour Support Programmes
An experienced SEND teacher can visit your setting and provide personalised advice and guidance to school staff. This could be for example, how to set up a visual timetable, how to differentiate activities, how to assess a student in a specific area. We are also able to provide in-lesson support for the students and school staff if required.
An experienced SEND teacher can provide observations, feedback and written reports as required to support schools to address barriers to learning. The teacher can support the action planning process as a result of their recommendations.
We follow the Team Teach approach. We offer a one day ‘Team Teach Foundation’ course and a two day ‘Team Teach Full’ course. This can be at your school or here at West Lancs subject to numbers. We can also support you with policies, record keeping and associated documentation.
Visual resources and structures
Manual Handling
Inreach
We can provide a range of visual resources and structures to meet individual needs. We can demonstrate a range of visual structures during an inhouse visit to see them in practice. This could include providing a visual schedule for the school day or specific lesson structure to promote understanding of what is being delivered.
We have Manual Handling trainers who can deliver training either at your setting or here at West Lancs. We can deliver a full day Manual Handling course or a half day refresher. We also offer ongoing telephone/email advice as required for our course attendees.
We can provide inreach for students for specific lessons or activities dependent on the needs of the individual. We can also offer good practice visits for staff. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements. We also offer training for Teaching Assistants to develop their knowledge of SEND support in the classroom environment.
