Dyslexia Leaders Group - Session 3 of 3
- The aim of the leader group is to develop a dyslexia specialist in each of the schools in the LA
- Delegates must attend all three sessions
The leader group will be organised by EPs from the LA and will support the development of the attendees so they feel able to assess for dyslexic type difficulties and implement interventions to suit the individual needs of the pupil. Although some test kits will be provided through the library, some assessment tools may need to be bought by school in order to be able to fully assess children and young people. It is likely that you will already have some of these tools in school and support around this will be provided at the group.
The leader group will act as an opportunity to discuss cases and share good practice between the schools.
To ensure there are no missed learning opportunities we ask that you attend all sessions.
The sessions are as follows:
Session 1 (Autumn) – 1st November 2018
Session 2 (Spring) – 26th February 2019
Session 3 (Summer) – 10th May 2019
All sessions will run from 1pm to 4pm at the Basement Training Suite, Hopwood Hall College. We also recommend that 2 people from the school attend as this will help if there are any changes to staffing and will provide peer support in the school.
