This leading programme in the field of dyslexia prepares teachers to critically evaluate and develop evidence-based practice to become specialist teachers and specialist assessors of learners with literacy difficulties. This programme is recognised by the British Dyslexia Association (BDA) and leads to Approved Teacher Status (ATS), Approved Practitioner Status (APS), and Associate Member of the BDA (AMBDA) and Assessment Practising Certificate (APC).
Students will gain an understanding of how learners typically develop literacy skills and what happens when difficulties occur. Students will learn how literacy difficulties can be assessed and identified and how to develop a personalised support programme. As part of this programme students will learn to administer standardised psychometric tests (in their own educational setting), write full diagnostic reports and provide specialist teaching (in similar settings) for learners with literacy difficulties. Students will learn all the skills necessary to become a specialist teacher and assessor.
Students undertake 5 modules to the value of 180 credits.
The programme consists of five compulsory modules (180 credits) and the final module is a research report. The second (Evidence Informed Practice) and third (Assessment) modules are worth 45 credits each, as these modules involve additional professional practice elements. All other modules are valued at 30 credits.
Upon successful completion of 180 credits, you will be awarded a MA in Specific Learning Difficulties (Dyslexia).
