Within your SEND provision, practical strategies to work effectively with your classroom learning support

This session, facilitated by Natspec will introduce participants to a range of strategies to enable you to work cohesively with your support staff. In turn this will support learners to participate in an effective, challenging, and creative curriculum.

There will be opportunities to hear from an outstanding college about their approach to a curriculum that empowers their learners and from parents and staff at another provider who have seen the impact this approach can have.
