LC20-145A Speech, Language & Communication Skills Course for Teachers of Junior Classes & SEN Teachers

A series of 6 webinars starting Monday September 21st at 7p.m and continuing on October 5th; October 19th; November 9th; November 23rd & December 7th 

Language is at the centre of the learning process and central to the curriculum. This Webinar Series aims to demonstrate how language underpins all areas of the curriculum. We aim to provide teachers with knowledge related to speech, language (both oral and written) and communication skills. We also aim to provide strategies to support a teacher’s own individual teaching and learning practice in relation to children with different speech, language and communication abilities.

Each webinar in the series is linked and knowledge and strategies will be shared and discussed.  We aim to have interactive discussions.
