At the back end of last year, we partnered with Dyslexia Action to provide support at 41 Train the Teach events across England. Funded by the Department for Education, the workshops were designed to help teachers get to grips with neurodiversity and Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs).
Train the Teacher kicked off in September, but we'd already been working with Dyslexia Action to demonstrate the benefits of assistive technologies for learners and institutions. The Dyslexia Action team had attended several of our events for teachers, and our guys had previously trained a group of Dyslexia Action staff on how to use iPad for teaching, and even loaned them some kit to use when working with schools throughout the country.
The events spanned four months, and Dyslexia Action, Patoss, Helen Arkell, the British Dyslexia Association and Jigsaw24 welcomed over 2400 teachers from primary, secondary and post-16 institutions who were looking for some guidance. We supplied 100 iPad free of charge for the events, which were used by delegates and the technical support team to demonstrate teaching materials.
The workshops helped bridge the growing skills gap between teachers and rapidly developing assistive technology. Schools were taught how to identify and support students with SpLDs, and teachers were shown how to access learning resources for neurodiversity.
The consortium also covered the SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) Code of Practice at the events, which lays out the duties local authorities, health bodies, schools and colleges have to children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. They also offered some insight into sharing knowledge and strategies with colleagues, and introduced them to range of new teaching techniques.
Since Train the Teacher finished earlier this month, we've been working with several schools and a local authority to provide further support for iPad in the classroom, and hosted specialised training days for teachers looking to enhance learning with assistive technology.
