"All teachers are teachers of pupils with special educational
needs. Teaching such pupils is therefore a whole school responsibility
requiring a whole-school response"
(Code of Practice, 2001)
As the above statement clearly
indicates, all teachers and teaching support staff are responsible
within the inclusion principle for all types of 'non traditional
learners'. Consequently all members of staff in UK schools should
be conversant with the range of specialist needs that children
will exhibit. As a result, teachers should be able to recognise,
manage, teach and deal with many additional academic and behavioural
issues that may not have been fully covered in previous training
programmes.
DC educational services have
some of the best INSET and Continuing Professional Development
providers of teacher training in the area of Learning Difficulties
within the UK. Focussing on helping students with learning,
behavioural and socialisation issues in the areas of:
Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Conduct Disorder
Dyslexia
Dysphasia
Dyscalculia
Gifted and Talented
Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Now a new INSET training service is available to provide solutions
for specific academic and socialisation difficulties. The focus
is a 'proactive' rather than a 'reactive' approach to the teaching
and management of alternative learners within the school environment.
Through a series of entertaining
and stimulating presentations, teachers
will be empowered to form strategies within their organisational
settings. Issues such as school structures curriculum differentiation
issues, flexible application of systems and relationship development
will be discussed.
Presentations
are available for full, half day or evening sessions designed
to cater to your organisation's specific requirements
