Mode of delivery
We understand the staffing pressures in schools/colleges so in discussion with you we can offer a more flexible mode of delivery. We can structure course delivery formats to have a mixture of video watching, self-study assignments and Teams tutorials or to be delivered in-person at your setting.
Preparation and delivery time of an EP training course will be negotiated with the school/college. As a guide, EP preparation time for delivering training as a day course will be at least half a day. For a twilight session or shorter training courses the preparation time will be at least 50% of the delivery time and this will vary according to the training topic and how bespoke it is to the setting.
Our EP delivered five sessions on Neurodiversity which were extremely well received.
Lego skills training was excellent and we were able to implement the intervention with support.
Very useful and staff have found the Precision Teaching training very informative (and are using)
We have had TA training on precision teaching which was extremely useful and has impacted on practice.
Very helpful to discuss Teaching and Learning strategies linked to cognitive science as part of our inclusive practices and whole school priority. Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator
