Are you interested in developing your practice in Inclusion, Special Educational Needs and Disability? We have a great new programme that might be of interest to your setting. At the University of Derby we have been busy working on a new programme: A Foundation Degree in SEND. This course will help to further develop you as a confident, knowledgeable and effective practitioner to work in services and provision for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities and their families. It places emphasis on the knowledge and skills you will need to work effectively to support this group of children and young people and their families in ways that will bring them positive outcomes. You will study some core modules plus a selection of optional modules, and you will be able to specialise in SEND in Education or Health and Social Care. You will be able to reflect on your practice and enhance this through the theory you learn. Your work setting is used for work-based projects, activities and research so everything you study will be relevant to your everyday work. Tutors are knowledge and have academic and practical experience in the field and will support you on your journey.
