  • Fantastic resource!

    This is a great listen for teachers who are seeking further learning and understanding of learning difficulties to support our students in the classroom. I stumbled across this by accident, trying to find some strategies that were meaningful for some of my newly-diagnosed students and were more than just a sentence written on an ILP/IEP/BSP to ‘check the boxes’. The presenters are a hoot! Very engaging!

Q: Can I just pull the threads on constructivism just a bit longer?
