Teacher Academy: Teaching Students with Special Educational Needs
Practical skills to include and teach every learner well.
Every class includes learners who find reading, attention, language, movement or social situations harder than their classmates. This course gives teachers practical, respectful strategies: how to notice needs early without labelling, how to adapt teaching and materials, how to write and review an individual education plan, and how to work with parents and specialists. Participants leave with templates, lesson adaptations and a case study of their own practice.
