Training aim

This webinar focuses on sharing good practice regarding how to provide appropriate maths support for learners with additional needs who are on mainstream vocational provisions. The session aims to support teachers and educators to recognise the range of neurodiversity needs that maybe present in both diagnosed and undiagnosed learners. The aim is to recognise the tapestry of our classrooms and uses the principle message that a better understanding of learners needs will result in more impactful teaching, learning and assessment. With between 30-40% of the population thought to be neurodiverse the evidence is clear that an increased understanding of these needs would result in a more inclusive classroom.

Outcomes

The outcomes of the course aims to:

  • Develop practitioners understanding of neurodiverse needs and how to improve the design of teaching and learning in maths to support these learners.
  • Share strategies which explore how educators might manage neurodiverse behaviours which will promote impactful learning.
  • Promote and share a body of valid and relevant evidence-based research to enable practitioners to plan for effective learning and delivery.
