📚✨ This week, our trainees took part in a fantastic session focused on supporting pupils with dyslexia in the classroom. Exploring evidence-informed strategies and adaptive teaching approaches, trainees considered how to remove barriers to learning, build pupil confidence, and ensure every learner has the opportunity to succeed. From clear explanations and effective scaffolding to reducing cognitive load, the session highlighted practical ways to create truly inclusive classrooms. A huge thank you to Roland from @truro_college for leading such an insightful and engaging session and for sharing his expertise with our trainees. 👏 At Cornwall SCITT, we are committed to equipping future teachers with the knowledge and skills to meet the needs of all pupils. scitt@truro-penwith.ac.uk #CornwallSCITT #TraineeTeacher #DyslexiaAwareness #InclusiveEducation #AdaptiveTeaching #SEND #TeacherTraining #EducationForAll #FutureTeachers

What makes someone want to become a teacher? 
For one of our aspiring teachers, the answer was simple:
“To inspire young people.”
That was just one of the powerful conversations during a session with James Davidson, Headteacher at Penair School and Chair of Cornwall SCITT, who took time out to share his valuable experience with our teacher training cohort.
From the challenges of the classroom to the rewards of making a difference, James gave our future teachers a valuable insight into life in the profession and what it really means to inspire the next generation.
We can’t wait to see the difference they make!
