Webinar: Early Identification and Intervention (Part 1 of 3)

This series of three webinars will be an opportunity to reflect on and explore the importance of early identification of students’ needs. We will develop an understanding of identification methods and consider how you can use assessment methods to develop learning led strategies. Throughout this series we will reflect on the graduated approach and how to embed this into all levels of responsiveness in your school.

Each session will share best practice and reflect on case studies and differing approaches schools use. Participants will be encouraged to consider their school’s practices and how early identification and intervention can support all students at every level.

Sessions are suitable for practitioners across all phases of education from both mainstream and specialist settings.

Part 1: Wednesday 6th October 2021, 16:00-17:00

The first session will focus on what we mean by Early Identification of Need and include information and advice from a Senior Educational Psychologist and the President of the Association of Educational Psychologists (AEP), David Collingwood.

Attendees are asked to bring some information on their school/class context (such as numbers of students on the SEN Register and primary areas of need) to consider during the session.

Part 2: Thursday 21st October 2021, 16:00-17:00

Part 3: Friday 11th November 2021, 16:00-17:00
