Can you help educators find answers to your questions? – NAPE 075
Here at the National Association for Primary Education are looking for educators to help us ‘Pay It Forward’.
We see hundreds of questions asked on social media every week. What if we could collate the answers, get your views and experiences in a way that could support thousands of others?
If you are an educator and have ever asked a question and received a great answer – online or in person – we invite you to Pay It Forward.
Please be a guest on the NAPE podcast with Mark Taylor (NAPE vice chair) and spend 10 minutes discussing these 5 things.
- How are you currently involved in education?
- What question did you ask?
- What was the answer?
- Who gave it to you?
- What advice can you share from your own experiences?
That is it!

SEN CPD with Dr Anne Margaret Smith – NAPE 074
National Association for Primary Education presents:
Special Educational Needs CPD
Monday 6th December 2021 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM
This online zoom event will cover 3 areas of Special Educational Needs to help you support your pupils:
– English as an Additional Language (EAL)
– How to identify children who may also have dyslexia or another SPLD
– Common speech, language and communication needs
Co-occurring challenges
Do you ever worry that a child in your class is not making the progress you were expecting? There may be many reasons for this – and some will overlap. In this interactive session, we will look at some of the causes of underachievement, and try to find some solutions that could benefit the whole class.
We will start by looking at how all teachers can effectively support those learners who are using English as an Additional Language (EAL), and then move on to what we should be alert to in order to identify any children who also may have dyslexia or another SPLD. Finally, we will look at some common speech, language and communication needs, and how they could be met in the classroom.
Please feel free to bring your questions and share your experiences, so that, as a group, we can empower each other to support our learners.
