Evaluations: Continuing Professional and Leadership Development

We send out long term impact evaluations roughly 3 months after our training courses.  This evidences the impact the training has on pupils and staff.  Here are a selection of comments from the latest long term impact survey for courses attended in the Summer term:-

• Children on our SALT caseload are having regular interventions each week on Shape coding. We are extremely pleased with the impact it is having on the progress of these children.
• I found this training excellent and so informative. It really helped me to try to understand the position and feelings of the young people in our care and to never assume we know what is going on.
• It has allowed me to pass key information to staff and ensure that they are able to use social stories correctly.
• I feel much more confident to address any needs should we have a student in the future.
• As a result of the course I have higher behaviour and academic expectations of the child I teach with Down Syndrome.
• This new approach made total sense and I will certainly implement the strategies learnt within my practice.
• In school he has stopped absconding and understands why and when his safe space is useful for helping him.
• I have three children currently on the S&L register for Selective Mutism and another unofficial SM. This course has massively helped me this year in understanding those children and adapting my teaching to make them feel as comfortable as possible in my classroom.
• Since attending the Social Stories training I have been able to write some social stories regarding toileting and transition. This has really helped the children and staff involved. The children are now able to go into the toilets, by themselves. The child involved with the transition story is doing really well.
