One hour workshop for teaching and learning support staff exploring the Commtap resource
AudienceProfessionals
Event topicCommtap, Listening, Speaking
Event TypeWorkshop
For work withChildren 0-5yrs, Children 5-11yrs, Children 11-16yrs

This one hour workshop* will take you through the Commtap site - how it is organised, how you can find activities for working with children with communication disabilities - using the Early Years Foundation Stage areas of learning or the P-Scales/former National Curriculum depending on your setting. The workshop includes:

  • P-levels/National Curriculum/EYFS (as appropriate) and communication skills.
  • Finding appropriate activities based on a child's level, or to continue on from work you are already doing.
  • Using the site to step up or step down a level.
  • Tour of the site, and how it can be used to support your daily work.
  • Plenty of opportunities to practice using the site and ask questions.

* The workshop can be extended to an hour an half if you wish; a follow-up workshop for trouble-shooting is also available.

Location

We will run the presentation at your school or other venue (for example at a SENCO conference) - ideally in an IT suite as people will need access to a computer. We are able to travel within the UK.
