Specialist Spotlight: Improving Your Classroom SEND Practice with Whole School SEND
- Online
- 21 Sep 2026 (15:30 - 16:30)
Join Dawn Cranshaw, Whole School SEND Regional Lead for the Northwest, for a 30-minute webinar focused on developing your knowledge, confidence, and skills in the classroom. Tailored specifically for teachers and support staff, this session introduces our free resources and looks at how they can directly support your daily practice.
You may already be familiar with the Teacher Handbook: SEND and our webinars, but this session will broaden your awareness of other available support, such as our new Autism Online Units and the Inclusive Practice Hub. We will explore how to access these practical, research-informed strategies so you can use them in your lessons immediately, alongside how they can support your own flexible, individual professional development.
By the end of the webinar, you will leave with a clear understanding of the free tools available to you and be able to identify the exact resources most relevant to growing your classroom practice.
Due to the interactive nature of these sessions, recordings will not be made available after the event.
