Training & Support
Taking no longer than a coffee break, this is the third of our monthly SEND-themed webinar "SEND Searchlights”. We answered your burning SEND assessment questions and shared knowledge and experience with colleagues from across the world!
This informal forum was facilitated by GL Assessment’s Emma Dibden and Polly Marsh, who bring their experience as former SENCos to bear as they answer questions posed by you, the educators working on the ground, and provide guidance on how to use assessment data to effectively identify and support your students who may be experiencing barriers to learning.
You can also catch up on the second webinar in this series here.
A little bit more about the facilitators:

Her prior strategic roles in SEND, and experience of using GL assessments in context, helps to inform her practice as the Assessment Specialist for SEND and Wellbeing.
