Education Access
Services to support the education of all students
Educational Assessments
These identify the specific educational challenges that a particular student is facing. This may include such conditions as Dyslexia and can lead to support in school, university or work, including access arrangements for formal examinations.
Mentoring
For those who are assessing students and are aiming for the demanding APC qualification, we offer a mentoring scheme focusing on the report-writing activities which are a key part of an APC submission. We are a SpLD Assessment Standards Committee [SASC] Authorised CPD Provider, so this scheme contributes to your core-CPD requirement.
School Support
In the classroom, I provide small group teaching, literacy interventions and create differentiated resources for class teachers.
I can assist with maintaining your staff internal knowledge-base relating to assessments, exams and SpLD information, and train members of staff in assessment practices. In addition I can perform assessments to support examination access arrangements.
