I am based in London and run two kinds of dyscalculia courses.
• A 2-hour 'Introduction to Dyscalculia', presented as a CPD or INSET course held at the participants' school during a twilight session. This introduction is aimed at teachers, maths subject leaders, SENCOs, SEN specialists, TAs and LSAs. The first hour comprises a talk about Dyscalculia in the context of other Specific Learning Difficulties together with a look at how learners are affected, how they can be identified and how they can best be helped. The second hour is devoted to trying out some practical teaching activities and games. If your school is in London and you would like to arrange for me to come and present an 'Introduction to Dyscalculia' to staff at your school (note that the optimum number of participants is 20, with an absolute maximum of 30), please contact me by email on courses@ronitbird.com.
• A 9-week (18 hours) intensive course for those teachers and other members of staff who work directly with learners who struggle with basic numeracy and who therefore would like to explore all aspects of dyscalcuia in depth. The course is highly practical, delivered in a workshop-style to a strictly limited number of participants. It aims to equip participants with specific teaching strategies to support pupils with specific maths difficulties and will also provide participants with a range of detailed notes and photocopiable resources. For a clearer idea of what such a course offers, click here to see a flyer from a previous course. Click here for details
The next intensive course will be organised only once I have received expressions of interest from ten potential participants, so please do not hesitate to contact me on courses@ronitbird.com if you think you would like to attend a future course. Please note that the intensive course entails making a regular commitment of time on a weekday afternoon for 9 weeks during term-time.
If you are interested in either of the above courses, or would simply like your name to go on a mailing list to be informed by email about future courses, please email courses@ronitbird.com. You can be assured that your email details will not be used for any other purpose.
