The first group of teachers to start the distance learning course met in Delhi between 23rd-27th May. We spent time studying aspects of the course in practical ways which the participants said “helped clarify my understanding”, “was actually informative and I could check if I had absorbed what was taught”, “made me more confident as a professional”, “was overwhelming in a positive way!”
Most of the assignments in the final contact classes were activity based. Teachers
demonstrated how to conduct a meeting, discuss delicate issues with their management,
interview a parent. All presented their thoughts on their progress over the year
as a SENCo with the majority saying they felt inspired to go and continue their journey
in their schools.
The Students said:
Navneet: The session on Individual Education Plans was informative and clarified
my misconceptions.
Sophy: The classes were useful and interactive-
Gurpreet: The contact classes helped us understand the manual better- Preeti; Surely
learning doesn't stop here there is more to gain.
