Learn how shadow teachers provide personalised support to students with additional needs in this free online SEN course.

Do you want to help children with additional learning needs? This SEN teacher training course explains how ‘shadow education’ can help children with learning challenges to fulfil their potential. We start by defining the terms ‘special education’ and ‘shadow teaching’ before identifying the actors involved in shadow education. The course goes through the benefits of shadow education, which focuses on one-to-one instruction to help children overcome learning challenges.

The course examines the roles, responsibilities and skills needed to become an effective shadow teacher. We go over various approaches that have proven effective over time and show you how to keep your students motivated as they progress. We also discuss the significance of open communication between teachers and parents and explain how to make sure the needs of children are met not just at school but also at home.

Numerous studies indicate the prevalence of learning challenges, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among children. We must modify teaching methods so that these young learners can thrive. This SEN teacher training course explains how to work closely with children with diverse learning needs. Sign up to become a shadow teacher and play your part in helping people with learning differences succeed.
