The keynote session (entitled ‘Excuse me, Miss, but why are you still so fat?’) will explore the huge impact – positive and/or negative – that educational staff can have on pupils with autism. There will be an exploration as to why children on the spectrum may have such high anxieties at school, and what can be done to alleviate those high arousal states.
Break out sessions cover the following areas – promoting positive behaviour; teaching students with SEND: developing their transferable skills; supporting students with English as an Additional Language; grammar, punctuation and spelling at Key Stage 2; international pedagogy- what we can learn from high performing jurisdictions; keeping it healthy and safe when covering science lessons; assessment and feedback; supporting teachers supporting students; the changing landscape of primary education and what it means for primary school teachers.
Booking is essential and places are still available: –
