SUMMARY:FREE! Literacy For All - Lexonic CPD session\, April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Following on from our recent introductory Literacy for All sessions – we hope you found our key takeaways useful. \nIf you haven’t yet registered for the upcoming deep dive CPD webinars\, you’ll find further details below\, along with a link to sign up at the end. We hope you can join us for all four sessions that promise to be packed with practical ideas and strategies to take straight back to your classroom. \nThe question many leaders are asking is: How do we build a literacy strategy that works—for every learner\, in every classroom?” Too often\, literacy developments can feel fragmented\, focusing on one specific area of literacy need\, but not providing a 360 solution. The Literacy for All team are here to present you with exactly that. A joined up 360 approach to literacy development across your school. \nIndividually\, each of these approaches below is powerful. But together\, they form something much more impactful—a connected literacy strategy that supports the whole child. \n  \n Lexonic:  28th April\, 12PM BST / 3pm GST\nJoin Sarah Ledger for a deep dive into effective reading interventions for older students.  Covering each of the 5 Pillars of Reading we will focus on using data effectively\, closing gaps quickly\, developing fluency and building vocabulary. \nLexonic – dedicated to transforming literacy education by training teachers to deliver powerful\, evidence-based reading interventions. Our programmes focus on developing foundation knowledge in reading\, with a specific focus on targeted support for older learners. \n  \n Pobble: 5th May\, 12PM BST / 3pm GST\nIn Simon’s session\, he will share ten ideas for improving writing in your school. The journey will begin by looking at ways to inspire children to write and end with thoughts on how to create a real audience and purpose. Simon will also share a short demo of Pobble and explain how schools are using Pobble 365 to support their existing writing plans. \nPobble is passionate about helping every child find their voice as a writer\, expressing creativity\, identity\, and understanding. We supports schools with high-quality\, engaging writing resources and platforms that motivate students to write with purpose. \n  \n Widgit:  12th May\, 12PM BST / 3pm GST\nJoin Rebecca to explore 9 reasons to use symbols to support Literacy for All. We will look at how symbols support understanding\, reduce cognitive load\, develop literacy skills\, and promote inclusion and independence for all learners. The session will also demonstrate how quick and easy it is to create a symbol‑supported Pobble word mat in Widgit Online\, showing how symbols can be seamlessly embedded into everyday classroom practice. \nWidgit believe that understanding should never be a barrier to participation. Their work centres on making language accessible through the use of symbols – supporting anyone who needs visual scaffolds to engage with reading\, writing\, and communication\, including but not limited to Pupils of Determination\, BML and early readers. \nGet more details about Widgit here \n  \n Everway:  19th May\, 12PM BST / 3pm GST\nCarrie-Anne and Paddy will share five practical strategies to use technology to remove barriers to literacy\, improve access to text\, and include every learner. Through the lens of Read&Write\, you’ll see how to support a wide range of needs across pupils of determination\, with targeted strategies for those with dyslexia and ADHD. You’ll leave with a clear plan\, a proven approach\, and the confidence to use a tool that is necessary for some\, useful for all\, across every literacy level and setting. \nEverway – provides accessible learning tools that work everywhere. Supporting over 250 million learners worldwide\, products like Read&Write\, OrbitNote and ExamWritePad remove barriers caused by difference\, disability or language. Their mission is to help everyone understand and be understood through tools that are necessary for some\, useful for all. \nGet more details about Everway here \n  \nIf you can’t make the session do still register as we will make a recording of the webinars available after the event. \nClick to register for any of these sessions…\n \nRegistration link for all 4 sessions\, to copy and paste or share on socials: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/5317751415238/WN_brQPkf7fRei6bD_ncwm-LA \n  \nDisclaimer \nThis training is organised by an external organisation and Louise Dawson Professional Development and Management Training cannot accept any liability or responsibility for the content or quality of the training. \nPayment is made directly with the external training partner and any conversation about delivery of the training\, payment\, refunds\, etc should be addressed directly to the external company. \nIf you have concerns about any content of the training then please let us know so we can raise them with the training provider on behalf of all delegates/attendees.

SUMMARY:FREE webinar! The Impact of Stress and Uncertainty: How to support ourselves\, children and young people
DESCRIPTION:Join our Jigsaw webinar ‘The Impact of Stress and Uncertainty: How to support ourselves\, children and young people’\, led by Alex Phoenix\, Training Consultant at KCA Training \nIn this short session we look at what science and research tells us about stress and uncertainty and how it affects all of us\, how there are differences in levels of stress and how our own past experiences affect how we feel stress. \nUncertainty causes stress\, this is because the human brain is wired to crave predictability and certainty for survival\, uncertainty and ambiguity is therefore felt as a threat to safety.  How our brains and nervous systems respond to that stress is an individual process\, but it affects the ways in which we interact with others and the world around us. \nThroughout this session we will look at practical examples of what we can do to support ourselves through times of uncertainty and stress\, ways in which we can help our brains and nervous systems to cope. We will also look at what we can do to support the children and young people that we work with\, practical examples that help us to help them to cope during uncertainty and stressful times. \nThe aims of this session are: \n\nThe science of the impact of stress\nThe science and understanding of uncertainty and its impact\nHow these both affect how we interact with each other and the world around us\nSome examples of what we can do to support ourselves during these times\nSome examples of how we can support children and young people during these times \n\nThis session will include a 10 minute Q&A section for participants \n \nFor more information on Jigsaw Education here \n  \nDisclaimer \nThis training is organised by an external organisation and Louise Dawson Professional Development and Management Training cannot accept any liability or responsibility for the content or quality of the training. \nPayment is made directly with the external training partner and any conversation about delivery of the training\, payment\, refunds\, etc should be addressed directly to the external company. \nIf you have concerns about any content of the training then please let us know so we can raise them with the training provider on behalf of all delegates/attendees.

We hope you can join us for all four sessions that promise to be packed with practical ideas and strategies to take straight back to your classroom. \nThe question many leaders are asking is: How do we build a literacy strategy that works—for every learner\, in every classroom?” Too often\, literacy developments can feel fragmented\, focusing on one specific area of literacy need\, but not providing a 360 solution. The Literacy for All team are here to present you with exactly that. A joined up 360 approach to literacy development across your school. \nIndividually\, each of these approaches below is powerful. But together\, they form something much more impactful—a connected literacy strategy that supports the whole child. \n  \n Lexonic:  28th April\, 12PM BST / 3pm GST\nJoin Sarah Ledger for a deep dive into effective reading interventions for older students.  Covering each of the 5 Pillars of Reading we will focus on using data effectively\, closing gaps quickly\, developing fluency and building vocabulary. \nLexonic – dedicated to transforming literacy education by training teachers to deliver powerful\, evidence-based reading interventions.

Simon will also share a short demo of Pobble and explain how schools are using Pobble 365 to support their existing writing plans. \nPobble is passionate about helping every child find their voice as a writer\, expressing creativity\, identity\, and understanding. We supports schools with high-quality\, engaging writing resources and platforms that motivate students to write with purpose. \n  \n Widgit:  12th May\, 12PM BST / 3pm GST\nJoin Rebecca to explore 9 reasons to use symbols to support Literacy for All. We will look at how symbols support understanding\, reduce cognitive load\, develop literacy skills\, and promote inclusion and independence for all learners. The session will also demonstrate how quick and easy it is to create a symbol‑supported Pobble word mat in Widgit Online\, showing how symbols can be seamlessly embedded into everyday classroom practice. \nWidgit believe that understanding should never be a barrier to participation. Their work centres on making language accessible through the use of symbols – supporting anyone who needs visual scaffolds to engage with reading\, writing\, and communication\, including but not limited to Pupils of Determination\, BML and early readers. \nGet more details about Widgit here \n  \n Everway:  19th May\, 12PM BST / 3pm GST\nCarrie-Anne and Paddy will share five practical strategies to use technology to remove barriers to literacy\, improve access to text\, and include every learner.

SUMMARY:FREE! CPD Webinar - SEND: Are you delivering inclusive\, flexible learning? with Gaia Learning and Bloom
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nStruggling with SEND provision? Learn how to improve engagement\, create flexible pathways\, and evidence outcomes beyond attainment. \nMany schools are asking the same question: \nAre we truly delivering inclusive\, flexible learning or just adapting around the edges? \nThe most effective schools don’t retrofit SEND support.\nThey design systems that anticipate and adapt to need. \nThis session explores what that looks like in practice. \nLed by Kate from Gaia Learning\, this CPD will share practical insight into how schools are: \n\nimproving engagement across complex SEND and SEMH cohorts\nbuilding flexible pathways that adapt as needs change\nresponding in real time — not waiting for formal review cycles\njoining up SEND\, pastoral and academic insight\nevidencing progress beyond attainment (engagement\, wellbeing\, independence)\nensuring provision moves learners forward\, not keeps them in holding patterns\n\nThese principles are drawn from real delivery across schools\, not just theory. \n  \nAbout The Speaker\nKate Heath is the Founder and Managing Director of Gaia Learning\, working with schools\, MATs and Local Authorities to support learners who struggle to access education. Her work focuses on designing inclusive\, flexible provision that improves engagement and long-term outcomes. \n \nRegistration link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/webinar-are-you-delivering-inclusive-flexible-learning-tickets-1987772219217 \n  \nDisclaimer \nThis training is organised by an external organisation and Louise Dawson Professional Development and Management Training cannot accept any liability or responsibility for the content or quality of the training. \nPayment is made directly with the external training partner and any conversation about delivery of the training\, payment\, refunds\, etc should be addressed directly to the external company. \nIf you have concerns about any content of the training then please let us know so we can raise them with the training provider on behalf of all delegates/attendees.
