Course description
Programme
The programme is designed to provide the conceptual framework for identifying and responding to learners, in a segregated setting or in mainstream education, with additional support needs.
Learning Outcomes
This programme will enable participants to:
* develop and apply knowledge, skills and attitudes relevant to additional support for learning;
* develop and apply knowledge, skills and attitudes in cooperative working and consultancy with colleagues, other professionals, families/carers of learners and with learners themselves;
* reflect critically on the relationships between theory and practice and explore issues in the implementation of educational and social principles and ideals;
* engage with and influence policy issues and the practice of fellow professionals in relation to the delivery of inclusive and special education.
How You Will Be Taught
Learning is delivered through lectures, seminars, small-group discussions and skill-development sessions. An emphasis will be placed on experiential learning and course members will be encouraged to share feelings and experiences, with opportunities being presented for the practice and review of relevant skills.
Additional Support for Learning (ASL)
Our suite of Additional Support for Learning programmes is carefully designed to meet the professional needs of teachers and other professionals who are involved in supporting learners with additional support needs. All our programmes have been recently revised and are delivered by staff who are experts and practitioners in their field.
Each of our programmes can be taken as a six-course diploma and can be continued to Masters level. Participants may also choose to select a number of independent courses, as either assessed or non-assessed, for inclusion in their CPD portfolios.
