Programa

To gain a Postgraduate Diploma SEN in SpLD you must pass four taught modules:

Understanding Learning Difficulties and Disabilities (which is taught on campus or can be accessed via e-learning)
Specific Learning Difficulties
Managing and Supporting Children and Young People with Specific Learning Difficulties
Research Methodology
Both SpLD modules focus not only upon specific difficulties in literacy and numeracy, but address the wider spectrum of potentially associated conditions, eg, dyspraxia, attention deficit disorder and asperger’s syndrome.

The course enables participants to gain knowledge of:

The vast range of differences within the SpLD continuum
Current research on the identification of learners experiencing problems with literacy and numeracy
Assessing individual learning needs, using both standardised and non-standardised methods
Planning programmes of work for individual pupils based on initial and ongoing assessment
The effects on learning, self esteem and behaviour of SpLD
Monitoring the progress of learners who may show uneven or intermittent standards of achievement
A variety of strategies and resources, including ICT and technical aids, for assisting pupil organisation, drafting and presentation of work
The monitoring, evaluation and auditing responsibilities within school or service, in respect of the quality of provision for pupils with SpLD
Teachers who successfully complete both SpLD modules may apply to the British Dyslexia Association (BDA) for consideration of the Approved Teacher Status (ATS or ATS FE/HE). Those who successfully complete both SpLD modules, the SEN core and research methodology modules and 30 hours teaching practice may apply to the BDA for associate membership of the BDA (AMBDA or AMBDA FE/HE).

Learning and teaching methods
Students undertake two modules in year one, and two modules in year two. Both SpLD modules are taught on Monday evenings for three hours on campus over a period of 12 consecutive weeks.

Salidas profesionales

Most students proceed to the MA dissertation, in order to achieve the award of MA SEN.

If you’re interested in the possibility of a higher degree by research, your tutors will be pleased to discuss the opportunities for doing so here at the University.
