At a glance headlines: 8/9/2016

Free SEN training, Work Experience Week, advice on workload and an update from the College of Teaching are among the SecEd At a glance headlines for Thursday, September 8.

A number of free “train the trainer” CPD events are being hosting this term to help schools improve outcomes for SEND pupils. The Teaching for Neurodiversity courses are being funded by the Department for Education and free places are available for two staff from each school. Run by a coalition of organisations, the course will tackle identifying signs of speech and language difficulties, support strategies and how different difficulties overlap.

Work Experience Week, set to take place from October 10 to 14, has received backing from the government’s Apprenticeships advisor Nadhim Zahawi MP. Organised by the charity Fair Train, the week aims to raise the profile of the role of high-quality work experience and showcase best practice among schools and employers. A free toolkit is available online. Visit: www.fairtrain.org/work-experience-week
