Description

This course gives educators a base understanding of dyscalculia, its impact on learning across primary and high school, and the common challenges it presents. You will gain an understanding of the 'Big 3' strategy areas essential for classroom support and be better able to offer practical adjustments for both teaching and assessment, leaving you feeling confident and prepared to support your students with dyscalculia effectively.

By helping teachers everywhere better understand dyscalculia and the impact it has on students, Tammy is continuing in her mission to support students to be safe, supported, and understood throughout their education.
