An Interview with Patricia Henderson

“I have gained a lot more confidence in dealing with data and how it can support students with SEND. This has also allowed me to direct more useful interventions and supports for these students. I have improved my knowledge to such a degree that my work was used as a case study in the Global Assessment Conference 2020 with Matthew Savage, which then led to me writing a blog for GL Assessment.” Patricia Henderson, a Learning Support Teacher at a secondary international school in Malaysia.

An Interview with Lena Ramzi

“The iSENCO qualification has allowed me to obtain a broader overview of how SEND is managed and supported in other international schools in Dubai. This is due to the opportunity to complete a placement in another school which was a highly beneficial part of the course.” Lena Ramzi, an Inclusion Teacher for years 6 and 7 at an International British School in Dubai.

An Interview with Vicky Hewlett

“I am now the second qualified assessor for psychometric testing. Additionally, when I have finished, I will be another member of staff qualified to give access arrangements. This will benefit the school in many ways, including assessing students for literacy needs and implementing relevant strategies to support them. Furthermore, the ability to provide access arrangements for the relevant students will have a great impact.” Vicky Hewlett.

An Interview with Grace Arnstein

“The course supplemented my work at school and has enabled me to secure a job as SENCO next year. The reflective aspects of the programme encouraged me to identify areas of strength within my practice and highlight areas for improvement. It has enabled me to help improve SEND provision across the school.” Grace Arnstein, an SEN and EAL teacher in a bilingual school in China.

An Interview with Jessica Milnthorp

“The course has given me the confidence to implement change within my school and offer CPD opportunities for staff to better support children with SEND in and out of the classroom. This has made SEND a priority within my setting. The biggest impact has been the implementation of a more child-centred approach and ensuring strong links and good communication between teachers, parents and the children.” Jessica Milnthorp, a SENCo/Inclusion Lead at a primary school.

An Interview with Rimante Songailaite

“I really enjoyed my journey with Real Training and the course has exceeded my expectations. The course itself has been planned out really well and each strand has covered topics in-depth. All the different modules and activities are both theoretical and practical. I prefer learning to be practical and not just theory-based, so this worked well for me. The course has allowed me to reflect on myself as a person and a professional and I would say that now, after completing the iSENCO course, I am a much better professional.” Rimante Songailaite, a Learning Support Coordinator in an international school in Malaysia.

An Interview with Caroline Dodsworth

“The CPT3A course (made up of both CCET and AAC), that I undertook several years ago, had a direct impact on the school where I was working as a SENCO. It meant that as a qualified access arrangement assessor, the access arrangements testing could be brought in-house. This saved the school time and money.” Caroline Dodsworth, a freelance SEN consultant, assessor and tutor.

An Interview with Dorthe Allen

“I came to Real Training with a substantial knowledge of differentiation and SEN teaching strategies gained in my 22 years as a teacher of Drama, EAL and SEN. The courses have been most valuable in cementing my existing knowledge within the official setting of SEN provision.” Dorthe Allen, an SEN consultant in a variety of international schools all over the world.

An Interview with Mark Beales

“The course has given me a detailed look at the qualities needed to become a school principal, and what steps I can take to develop them. The forums include highly-experienced school leaders, and having the chance to talk with them and exchange ideas was invaluable. The feedback from Real Training’s own course leaders (all of them experienced principals) was excellent.” Mark Beales, Head of Senior School in an Australian International School in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
