Overview

SEN stands for special educational needs. These educational methods are used for kids with special needs such as autism, dyslexia, and visual impairments just to name a few. Though every child has a right to public education in any institute they want, not all teachers are adequately prepared or trained to cater for their needs. This fully accredited SEN Teaching Assistant Diploma course is designed to help you become an ideal teaching assistant to all children.

The course is divided into three parts and starts with an introduction to SEN where you will discover your role as a teacher. Furthermore, you will find out more about SEN code of practices and gain an understanding on SENCO. You will also get tips on management strategies for SEN classrooms, dealing with pupils that suffer from a variety of conditions, understand the difficulties they face and so much more. The next section introduces SEN in the USA where you learn about principles of special education and the SEN curriculum. Next, you look into ADHD, its causes, diagnosis, treatment and reasonable adjustments needed.

Becoming a SEN teaching assistant requires great dedication, knowledge, skills and strategies; and this course is sure enough to bring out these traits from you.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
