Course overview
Course description
The course will give you an overview of how to provide confident and effective support in schools. The knowledge gained could also help you with your own children’s learning at home. It aims to give you an understanding about routes into different areas within the sector and we will explore the skills you will need to progress.
We will explore the national curriculum of England, and all the different skills that are learnt through play. We will explore strategies for teaching literacy and numeracy with the use of digital research and paired mini-teach exercises.
We will examine children's social, emotional and behavioural development in education and begin to explore disability and working in special needs education.
You will receive continual verbal feedback alongside the written marking of your work. You will also be encouraged to support each other in your learning.
