Course summary
Are you working as a SENCo/ALNCo in a school, college or Early Years? Then this course is for you.
Course overview
This course fulfils the training requirements of The Special Educational Needs Code of Practice (2015), which envisages that a SENCO will provide leadership and professional guidance to colleagues and will work closely with staff, parents and carers, etc. It challenges SENCOs to promote person-centred, inclusive practice in which the interests and needs of pupils with SEN and/or disabilities are at the heart of everything they do.
Teaching methods
Teaching approaches are designed to engage you as a self-directed learner, and include lectures, group work, discussion, independent research, personal contextualised reflection, tutorials, and use of the University’s Moodle virtual learning environment.
Assessment
Assessment tasks include essays, a small-scale practitioner enquiry, an analytical case study and a professional portfolio with a critical commentary.
Job prospects
