The Online SENCO virtual toolkit is designed to keep SENCOs up to date but it also offers practical guidance on how to influence and change the mindset of others – a problem that SENCOs have been experiencing for some time!
How it works:
It consists of 9 online modules that you complete in your own time, at your own leisure. Each module consists of learning materials plus online videos and quizzes along the way, to make sure you’re absorbing what you’re learning.
At the end of the course you will be able to download a certificate of completion which you can use to show Ofsted that you are being proactive in taking enhanced SENCO training.
