Why choose this course? Users have said…
- It was so useful to really closely focus on one particular learner and explore all their strengths, challenges and strategies for support.
- I wanted to be better equipped to support their learning and ensure their progress. It was worth it as it confirmed some of the strategies that I were using were effective but introduced me to new ones, I particularly took not of verbal instructions and the segmentation of instructions.
- I wanted to gain a greater understanding of the different educational needs that our students have and the various approaches that can be used to improve teacher delivery. I feel that it helped me in my understanding and made me feel more confident in my teaching.

MHS Level 3 Award: Executive Function and Links to Learning
The Executive Function is a key area of challenge for most SEND pupils, whatever their diagnosis. This Level 3 course aims to introduce participants with little or no knowledge to the theory and practice behind support of SEND pupils in school. Created from a series of highly popular webinars given as a More House School ‘Spotlight’ series, this course leads the user through the theory and applied understanding of eight executive functions, concluding in an assignment. Feedback is given by More House School tutors.
Why choose this course? Users have said…
- My work as a SENCo and supporting staff with pupils in class as well as 1-1 has been enriched and strengthened as a result. I know the support I give both staff and pupils will be more effective.
- I found the Time Management course most useful. I never thought about the many ways we measure time. I have had to really watch my language around time and not assume that a pupil knows what I am talking about when I say time. I have used more sand timers to help a pupil better keep track of their own time and have stopped relying on digital timers.
Who is this course for?
Classroom teachers who would like to develop the skills and strategies necessary to support a range of pupils with SEND in the same class.

MHS Level 4 Award: Approaches to SEND in the Classroom
Classroom teachers are expected to know all about special needs so that every pupil can access the curriculum equally. Yet most of us feel unequipped. This course will help you to understand, apply and evaluate good SEND practice in your classroom. It includes two one-to-one online sessions with More House School tutors and feedback on two assignments.
Why choose this course? Users have said…
- I’ve really enjoyed how much this course has made me think through the different learner types in my class. It has definitely helped me to refine some of the resources we give the children to support their work, and got me thinking particularly about how to give those who are slower processors enough time to answer questions – but with that how to keep the quicker ones engaged as well.
- I like how I have been challenged in my own practice to deliver in an inclusive classroom. I thought it would be more theoretical but I have enjoyed being able to be practical and observe my class.
- Often I think we are at fault of delivering the same lessons and content week in, week out and an increase in understanding about how our pupils learn, their strengths and their weakness, shakes up our teaching and provides opportunity and confidence to be more dynamic.
- The course has helped me to spot patterns with certain boys within my group. As well as that, it has helped me identify the strengths of various members of my class as well, since it is sometimes easy to just focus on the aspects that children struggle with rather than looking at their strengths too. Was good in a way to take a step back and see the bigger picture. Will definitely be using the course tools with my other classes going forward.
- It showed me that even though most of my class are “neurotypical” there are still strengths and barriers to every child.
- I was able to fit in my neuro-typical students into the picture when thinking about the neuro-diverse ones – it was interesting to see how you could easily group the neurotypical with your focus pupils based on skills rather than on curriculum levels and made for interesting discussions about peer grouping.
