This is a fantastic introduction to understanding and meeting the needs of SEND students in your lessons.

Rob Butler shares his wealth experience gained from teaching in special school and as a secondary science specialist in this session designed to introduce you to what SEND is, what the needs of your SEND students might be, why you need to be aware of SEND needs as well as classroom strategies. 

This is an ideal course for anyone new or returning to teaching, new to teaching in the UK or looking for a quick refresher on SEND. You'll leave with a better understanding of the needs of yours students and how you can meet them, a great introduction for your training or early stages of teaching.

An introduction to special needs is free to ASE members and £20 for non-ASE members

ASE is a charity, committed to making support for science teaching as accessible as possible, we are able to do this through the support of our members.

If you’re not already part of the ASE community, we invite you to join ASE for just £45 a year (free to trainees and ECTs in the first 2 years of teaching). This gives you access to CPD (much is free to members), one of our Journals as well as our resources.

 

More SEND CPD...

If you are looking for more depth in your understanding of SEND, perhaps you've been teaching a while but want to improve the way you support these students, do check out our SEND series, where Rob takes more time your understanding of different aspects of teachcing SEND students.
