Improve the support you provide for children’s learning in primary school

Giving children in primary school the right support is vital.

In this course, you’ll hear from education experts, school staff and school children who provide insight into how children learn, the learning environment, and communication in school.

You’ll explore some of the theories underlying people’s behaviour that could impact learning in school, and you’ll reflect on your own experiences in the classroom to help build on your confidence and working practices.

By the end of the course, you’ll be better equipped to improve the support you provide in the education of children.

This course has been ranked as one of the best online courses of all time by the online course aggregator Class Central.

This course is for teaching assistants and support staff in early years and primary school. It will also be of interest to teachers returning to work, and newly qualified teachers, as well as providing a refresher for current teachers. Parents of children in schools may also find this course useful in helping them to support and encourage their children’s learning.

This course focuses on teaching and learning in primary schools. If you work in a secondary school, you may like to join: Supporting Successful Learning in Secondary Schools.
