SUMMARY:FREE! Mighty Writer CPD webinar “Developing Independent Writers in KS1" 1st December 2025
DESCRIPTION:Stay current with Mighty Writer’s literacy CPD webinar series. \nIndependence in writing doesn’t just happen. It’s something we teach\, nurture\, and model. When we empower children to write with confidence and ownership\, we’re not just building their literacy skills – we’re building thinkers\, communicators\, and future learners. \nIt is crucial that the main objective when teaching writing is that children become independent writers – motivated and able to apply their learning accurately. Developing independent writers is a process which is started right from the beginning of a child’s time in school and requires a well thought through approach which involves sensitive teaching and an excellent understanding of how children learn and their needs. \nThis webinar is 45-minutes\, with 30-minutes of discussions and 15-minutes of Q&A. \nWe hope you can join us\, or please do pass on to a colleague. We will also send you a CPD certificate of completion and a recording to those who register. \nPlease register here for this opportunity to share best practice. \n🔊 Speaker: Emma Ralph\, Founder\, Mighty Writer. \n✨ Emma Ralph is a highly experienced teacher and Assistant Head with a flair for helping children to maximise their abilities. \n✨ Emma developed the highly-acclaimed literacy resource\, Mighty Writer\, which was launched at The Education Show in 2016. \nRegistration link: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/17e430d3-43c6-49e5-9eec-eb1d994db566@8ac6952a-ef26-4118-b781-35d616360bfc \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 Link Between Language and Behaviour with Elklan\, November '25
DESCRIPTION:Join Louise and Gill Clarke from Elklan Training to learn more about the impact that speech\, language and communication needs (SLCN) can have on behaviour. \nIn this session\, we will: \n\nConsider how to identify which children/young people might have SLCN\nExplore how SLCN might be linked to their behaviour\nExplore a range of support strategies\n\nThe content is aimed at practitioners working with 5-16 year olds \n  \nCustomer Testimonial\n‘Since implementing the Elklan strategies\, the number of students with an EHCP who have received suspensions has decreased by over 40% over the past two academic years. This is because staff now understand the link between language and behaviour\, and are focussed more on supporting needs than dealing with behaviour.’ \nStacey McDermott – SENDCo at E-ACT Royton and Crompton Academy\, 2025 \nAbout Gill Clarke\nGill is a paediatric speech and language therapist with over 30 years experience. She has her own independent speech and language therapy practice in York\, UK\, as well as working as a speech and language therapy professional advisor for Elklan Training. In addition to working with individual children\, Gill believes parents\, carers\, pre-school and teaching staff hold the key to unlocking children’s communication potential. Gill is therefore passionate about empowering key adults in their life to support them by developing their knowledge and confidence in how to support speech and language development through sharing knowledge and experience. \nAbout Elklan\nElklan Training is a renowned organisation with expertise in the field of speech\, language and communication training. Elklan delivers courses to teachers\, teaching assistants\, early years practitioners and parents to give them knowledge and practical strategies to develop children’s speech\, language and communication skills. \nElklan will be running in-person training from February  to April 2026 – find more details here \n  \n\nPlease be aware that some people have had issues trying to book spaces on our events.
