This 90-minute workshop helps primary teachers identify and support learners with cognition
and learning differences – including dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and dyspraxia. You will
explore adaptive teaching strategies, practise the Assess - Plan - Do - Review cycle with real
student profiles, and continue building your Makaton toolkit. Part four of the Inclusive Teaching series, open to teachers at all career stages and can be attended as a standalone session.

This 90-minute workshop helps primary teachers understand sensory needs and put real
supports in place. You will learn to tell the difference between sensory seeking, sensitive,
avoidant, and slow profiles, explore Sensory Processing Disorder, and get hands-on practice
building sensory circuits and sensory diets for individual learners. Part five of the Inclusive Teaching series, open to teachers at all career stages and can be attended as a standalone session.

This 90-minute workshop helps primary teachers understand social, emotional and mental health needs and build classrooms where every learner feels safe, supported, and ready to learn. You will explore emotional coaching, attachment mentoring, Zones of Regulation, restorative approaches, and classroom-based mindfulness and yoga strategies – alongside guidance on when and how to involve external professionals. Part 6 of the Inclusive Teaching series, open to teachers at all career stages and can be attended as a standalone session.

Most English teachers have the same problem with listening materials. The coursebook audio does not quite match the level. The topics feel irrelevant. There is no variety in accents. And when you try to find something better online, you spend more time searching than teaching. This workshop gives you a practical way out. Using free AI tools, you will learn how to write short, realistic scripts for your students, generate clear audio in a range of voices and accents, and combine those voices into proper multi-speaker dialogues. You will also learn how to tweak speed, add pauses, and adjust difficulty – so your listening materials fit your class rather than the other way round.

Love them or loathe them, coursebooks are something that most teachers are required to work with. While they provide useful structure, activities and contexts to work with, all class have their own unique needs and interests that need to be met. Join this workshop to find out how to bridge the gap between your coursebook and your class.

Effective development of speaking skills requires a number of carefully planned stages, including learning from a model, analysing which elements make up the conversation or dialogue, and then working on subskills to equip learners to speak at length with accuracy and fluency. This workshop is for anyone who wants to know more about what to expect in the CertTESOL course or who would like to brush up on teaching skills.

In this online workshop, we will cover key skills and strategies that contribute towards the smooth running of an engaging, language rich classroom. Communicative materials, tasks and strategies for both online and in-person classrooms will be covered, as well as ways to intrinsically motivate learners so there is a high level of engagement in the classroom.
