Helping Those Who Work with Children Understand Anxiety & Challenging Behaviour
We are thrilled to have Clinical Psychologists Dr Kirsty Hughes and Dr Louise Mansell deliver a 90-minute workshop designed to help professionals understand the scientific theory and neuroscience behind anxiety & challenging behaviour. This workshop focuses specifically on the needs of children who display social communication, attention & concentration and attachment difficulties. They will explore some practical skills and approaches based on scientific research and evidence, to enable you to help children feel safer, less anxious, and to gain a greater sense of control.
Applying ‘particular weakness’ to teacher assessment of writing
Emily will demystify the recent introduction of ‘particular weaknesses’ to the KS1 and KS2 teacher assessment of writing. For Secondary colleagues, this should also be useful as it should help build an understanding of how EAL children may achieve expected standard while still displaying a recognisable weakness in writing.

Emily Humphrey, EMA Teaching & Learning Advisor, Rochdale Borough Council
Emily Humphrey, Teaching and learning Adviser
Prior to becoming a Teaching and Learning Adviser, I was a teacher and senior leader in a Rochdale primary school with responsibility for the English curriculum and supporting children for whom English is an additional language, throughout the school.
On joining the Rochdale School Improvement Team, I was trained to support schools through the National Improving Schools Programme. Since then, I have had the privilege to work with school staff in the main areas of Key Stage One, working with children from ethnic minority groups and those who have English as an additional language. As an accredited Key Stage One moderator, I have supported schools with their statutory assessment duties and led an effective LA moderation team.
I continue to love my role, working with the staff and children of Rochdale schools. I am interested in using my licence as an ELKLAN trainer to support school staff to use effective ways to develop children’s language and communication. It is a privilege to work with Rochdale schools to develop fun and exciting ways to provide children with engaging learning opportunities so that they enjoy school and reach their potential.
