Course Description

This course specifically trains teachers wanting to specialise in SEND in education and training sector educational settings, such as further education colleges, and adult and community settings.

For students who are following the specialist SEND route you complete an additional subject knowledge enhancement module. This module will ensure that you are fully conversant with the expectations of teaching SEND within a range of education and training contexts. It will include enquiry-based learning tasks to ensure that you fully understand the assessment of students with SEND and the multi-agency working required in this area.

This course has been developed to embed The Professional Standards for Teachers and Trainers in Education and Training, and it combines academic study with substantial placement experience and observation of practice. The course is designed to develop your knowledge and skills and enable you to fully meet the professional standards of the sector. This one year full-time programme comprises five modules across four key strands (professional skills, research, theory and specialist knowledge). These are delivered across the year to allow understanding, skills and practical application to take place over time. The strands of the programme are delivered concurrently to ensure that you make explicit links between all aspects of your learning.
