TTEdSIG – Neurodiversity awareness for teacher trainers

Neurodiverse trainee teachers have the potential to become really successful teachers, but sometimes struggle to reach their potential on initial teacher training qualifications. This webinar will shine a light on the challenges these trainees face and suggest practical ways for teacher educators to remove barriers and build on trainees’ strengths.
