Teaching Adult Dyslexic Learners in Higher and Further Education - PG Cert

The curriculum is driven by a number of principles. The key principle is the recognition that we are training practitioners who are able to support dyslexic learners in higher and further education. The focus of the course is therefore to provide a good theoretical framework and teaching practice based on this, to assist the development of reflective practitioners.

The initial weeks of the course are designed to set the context of adult learning in HE and FE and to develop trainee tutors' theoretical understanding of the learning issues confronted by dyslexic students. Trainee tutors begin their teaching practice in approximately week 6. The contact hours are only a small portion of the time, which a participant will need to allocate when undertaking this course. The directed learning and teaching practice required will require at least another four hours of input.
