You will learn through lectures, face-to-face tutorials and by working in small discussion groups and pairs.

There is a focus on collaborative learning, building on the strength of shared experience, knowledge and expertise. During taught sessions, you will be encouraged to interact with your fellow professionals, allowing you to explore theory and practice.

Group activities also help you to develop your ideas through discussion with others before your approach the assessment tasks.

Each module is supported by a Virtual Learning Environment, where you can access key learning materials and use the discussion board.

In addition to weekly lectures, you also have access to the module tutor via email or in face-to-face tutorials. Our tutors have all worked professionally to a high level in the field, and have experience in supporting participants from a wide range of professional contexts and backgrounds.

Each module encourages your to link your developing knowledge and understanding to your own professional context.

You will explore inclusive practice for pupils with behavioural difficulties and social, emotional and mental health needs within lectures, and have the chance to consider how this applies to your own setting through discussion with other students and the assessment portfolios.

The two modules you will study cover theories of inclusion: how to make inclusion work for pupils with SEMH, behaviour theories and associated strategies to support pupils and a link to wider national policy.

Throughout the course, you will be helped to develop a critical understanding of theory alongside practical knowledge.

We will encourage you to make links between theory and your own practice and become a reflective practitioner who is able to think proactively and strategically about provision for pupils with behaviour, social, emotional and mental health needs.
