Special Educational Needs Coordinators or SENCOs

This link has been added to widen the scope of our website. Its role has two main purposes:

To provide information for SENCOs about how the CDA can work with them to support dyslexic learners in school and in particular the Dyslexia Friendly Schools' Quality Mark.
To inform others of the valuable role of the SENCO within the mainstream school.

We would like to invite SENCOs to give us their contact details so that we may keep them up to date with events and information which could aid them in their role.

Please contact us if you would like us to add your details on: enquiries@cornwalldyslexia.org.uk or phone Sally on: 01726 69336

SENCOs Role

The Specail Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO), in collaboration with the head teacher and governing body, plays a key role in determining the development of the SEN policy and provision in the school in order to raise the achievement of children with SEN.

Government announces money to train teachers in dyslexia

Following the recent Rose Review report, the government has made a commitment to fund the training of 4,000 more dyslexia specialist teachers. It is intended that this training would be to AMBDA (Associate Member of the British Dyslexia Association) Level (this is QCA Level 7).
A number of training courses are available in different regions (please see www.bdadyslexia.org.uk for a list
of courses). These vary in terms of the type of delivery, but are often part-time/twilight courses that are spread over around 18-24 months.
