Struggling with SEND provision? Learn how to improve engagement, create flexible pathways, and evidence outcomes beyond attainment.

Many schools are asking the same question:

Are we truly delivering inclusive, flexible learning or just adapting around the edges?

The most effective schools don’t retrofit SEND support.
They design systems that anticipate and adapt to need.

This session explores what that looks like in practice.

Led by Kate from Gaia Learning, this CPD will share practical insight into how schools are:

• improving engagement across complex SEND and SEMH cohorts
• building flexible pathways that adapt as needs change
• responding in real time — not waiting for formal review cycles
• joining up SEND, pastoral and academic insight
• evidencing progress beyond attainment (engagement, wellbeing, independence)
• ensuring provision moves learners forward, not keeps them in holding patterns

These principles are drawn from real delivery across schools, not just theory.

About The Speaker

Kate 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.

The post FREE! Mighty Writer CPD webinar “Quality Over Quantity: Rethinking Writing Expectations” appeared first on Louise Dawson Professional and Management Development Training.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how to create a powerful Language Launchpad: a structured, supportive environment where early writing skills can truly take off.

You’ll discover practical, hands-on strategies that help children internalise the structure of a story long before they pick up a pencil.

We’ll cover:

Structuring the Chaos: Transform rambling thoughts into clear, confident sentences.
Visual Literacy: Harness symbols and story mats to bridge the gap between oracy and writing.
Inclusive Foundations: Approaches that work for every learner—from chatterboxes to non-verbal communicators.
Stop the stumbles before they start. Build a foundation that lasts.

The post FREE! Mighty Writer CPD webinar “ The Language Launchpad: Building Strong Foundations in Early Literacy” 12th January 2026 appeared first on Louise Dawson Professional and Management Development Training.

Independence 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.

It 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.

This webinar is 45-minutes, with 30-minutes of discussions and 15-minutes of Q&A.

The post FREE! Mighty Writer CPD webinar “Building Sentences Aloud” 5th November 2025 appeared first on Louise Dawson Professional and Management Development Training.

A powerful start in writing isn’t optional — it’s transformational. And the earlier we nurture it, the greater the long-term impact.

This webinar highlights the hugely important task of getting the teaching of writing right from the word go and the huge benefits to children’s long term success as writers when we do.

We will explore how purposeful talk can:

• Provide practical guidance to help teachers confidently support early writing development through engaging, age-appropriate strategies.
• Empower educators to create inclusive, supportive environments where every child can begin their writing journey successfully, regardless of starting point.
• Explore key foundations of writing—such as oral language, motor skills, and storytelling—and how to nurture them in everyday classroom practice.

The webinar will equip teachers with practical tools and proven approaches to help every child get the best possible start in writing — building confidence, creativity, and strong foundational skills in line with curriculum guidance and the new writing framework.

We 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.
