Pre phonics and Phase 1 phonics for ECT’s and TA’s
— Early Careers Teachers (ECTs)
The teaching of phonics is now strongly embedded in early literacy teaching in schools, and it has been shown to be an important part of becoming literate.
This course will help practitioners understand and plan for early literacy skills as part of their direct teaching, as well as creating a supportive literate environment both indoors and out.
Practitioners will gain a knowledge of a range of activities which support phonological awareness – aspects of language such as rhyme, alliteration and oral blending and segmenting.

Evaluating SEND Provision with a positive approach
— OFSTED / Inspection
Target audience: SENCOs and Leaders
Following successful trials in Primary and Secondary schools, Inclusive Learning North developed this Positive SEND Review process that starts by evaluating the experience of the pupils in relation to inclusive provision.
Delegates will come away with a method of recording progress of SEND pupils, from their true starting points.
Moderation of inclusive practice then feeds into whole school evaluation of SEND provision and planning next steps for the strategic SEND / SEF / School Development Plan.
