The boys in your school and your classes face some general & some very specific pressures; from school, family, peers and especially themselves. Great teaching and maybe some different approaches will help boys to connect better with school and their learning.

Teachers need to know and understand how to assess pupils in their subjects, including the statutory assessment requirements.  They need to make use of formative and summative assessment to secure pupils’ progress, and use relevant data to monitor progress, set targets, and plan subsequent lessons.  Teachers also need to give pupils regular feedback, both orally and through accurate marking, and encourage pupils to respond to the feedback.  In this course, Matt Bromley explores the central tenets of effective assessment, marking and feedback.

Grief is inclusive - but is grief support inclusive? Are the emotional needs of all children being met? All humans experience grief, regardless of their age or abilities. Sadly, the needs of bereaved and grieving children with SEND are often overlooked and when children have limited verbal communication skills this tends to result in their grief being totally neglected. This course looks at: what grief is (it’s about much more than death), how to identify grief in children with PMLD, how these children express their grief and crucially how we can support bereaved and grieving children with PMLD.

In this course we cover all aspects of Epilepsy – we look at what it is, the most common symptoms you might see and discuss some of the most common types of seizures, including seizures that are not caused by Epilepsy. The different triggers and treatment options are considered as well as Emergency Medication administration (Buccal Midazolam). We use the mnemonic A.C.T.I.O.N to give some advice about what to do when someone is having an Epileptic Seizure. Finally we discuss some of the rare complications linked to Epilepsy and think about the impact of Epilepsy on a child.

Every school and college in England must have a Designated Safeguarding Lead. All staff, volunteers and those working on behalf of the school should be aware of who this is, understand the role of the Designated Safeguarding Lead and know how their role works alongside the DSL to keep children safe. In this course we will explore this important role in more detail, look at how the DSL works to keep children safe, what their responsibilities are and how they work with other agencies. We will also look at the safeguarding responsibilities of every member of staff so that you can feel confident in what to do if you are concerned about a child.

Teachers need to establish a safe and stimulating environment for pupils, rooted in mutual respect. We should set goals that stretch and challenge pupils of all backgrounds, abilities and dispositions, and demonstrate consistently the positive attitudes, values and behaviour which are expected of pupils.
