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.
