Description

Prerequisite: You must have completed the Understanding SpLD module. You will need time with at least one learner with literacy difficulties to assess their needs through use of informal assessments and observations. You will be required to plan and teach an intervention programme, for at least one learner for 30 hours. You will need to provide 3 one hour films of your teaching, which will be observed with formative feedback given from an AMBDA qualified tutor. By the end of the module you should have developed critical understanding and knowledge from research and theories to analyse and evaluate the implications for teaching learners struggling with reading, writing and spelling. You will be expected to design and evaluate an evidence based personalised intervention. You will be able to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the key principles of learning and reflect on the aspects that underpin your chosen teaching approach and identify potential barriers to learning faced by learners. Students will reflect on how the intervention supported pupil outcomes and their own professional development as specialist teachers. Students will make appropriate personalised recommendations for future intervention for the target learner(s).

The module delivery will be through ‘blended’ learning: a combination of face-to-face taught sessions and online asynchronous and synchronous sessions.
