课程特征 Course Features：
Building on the success of the MSc SpLD (Dyslexia) programme, this newly revised course will provide you with additional flexibility and coverage, while retaining strong links between real-world classroom impact, current research and theory. You will recognise that social inclusion is fundamental to educational principles and that current initiatives expect teachers to adopt a flexible approach to diversity of needs.
Our staff have specialist expertise, and your study will enable you to meet the needs of dyslexic students and develop the professional skills required to identify and support dyslexic individuals in a variety of situations.
课程内容 Course Content ：
You will study at least seven modules and produce a dissertation. These will include at least three SpLD pathway modules addressing themed contexts. These will draw on research from cognitive psychology, neurology, genetics and education, and will cover matters relating to teaching methodology and assessment and identification.
Depending on your needs, you may be required to study specific optional modules. These will reflect our research expertise in areas such as: social justice and inclusive education; professional practice and pedagogy; lifelong and work-related learning; leadership, school improvement and effectiveness; mathematics and science education; leadership and administration in higher education; and mentoring and staff development. It may be possible to select an optional module from a range of master’s modules offered across the University.
Professional practice: Subject to additional study and more specific entry requirements, places may be available to support you to gain additional professional qualifications recognised by the British Dyslexia Association (BDA), ie Associate Membership of the British Dyslexia Association (AMBDA) or Approved Teacher Status (ATS). These specialist qualifications are increasingly recognised by local authorities and other employers. AMBDA status gives teachers the opportunity to assess and make recommendations for provisions for external examinations.
