Primary page content
The module will include a mix of practical and work-based activities, collaborative tasks, tutor and documented input, guided reading and independent study. As with many of our modules, this one has been designed to enhance your practice as you learn, and the online delivery means that the module can fit into a teacher's busy work week. Seminars are designed to enable students to discuss, investigate and enhance their ongoing practice in the context of the learning.
The assessment for this module has been developed to link with your day to day working practice – it encourages you to develop a resource (for example, a scheme of learning; a training session for colleagues; a pupil assessment tool; or a learning resource) which can be used in the workplace.
It includes:
- Research with teachers on SEN & behaviour
- Diagnosing need or in need of diagnosis
- Inclusion: are there limits?
- Challenging the deficit model
- ADHD: a case study of participatory research
- Researching school-based violence
- Autism: ethnographic research into SEN and exclusion from school
- Critical and cultural theoretical approaches to analysing 'behaviour disorders'
- School-wide behaviour policy and classroom environments
