Welcome
Developed in 2000 by Sue Hayden, specialist teacher and Emma Jordan, specialist speech & language therapist, Language for Learning is a Worcestershire joint health and education non-profit making project. It provides courses and resources for staff from Early Years to Secondary Level and training and materials for trainers to deliver these courses within their own Authorities.
Courses
Language for Learning courses are all led by a speech & language therapist and a specialist teacher providing a dual perspective and specialist knowledge. They have been written for all those working in mainstream schools, speech & language therapists and parents. All courses support theory into practice through reflective tasks and are mapped on to the Speech, Language & Communication Framework (SLCF). A participant handbook containing useful information and photocopiable materials to support strategy suggestions is supplied with each course session. Language for Learning also provides tailor made courses to address specific needs.
Resources
Resources have been developed as a direct result of the requests made by our course participants and can be purchased through the Language for Learning catalogue.
Licensed Authorities
Language for Learning training is available throughout the UK but it is also possible to become a licensed authority so that you can deliver the training yourselves. Sue Hayden & Emma Jordan personally train pairs of trainers (one speech & language therapist, one specialist teacher) within authorities and provide all the materials needed to deliver six session courses at all key stages.
Forthcoming Training
For information about current courses in participating authorities go to Licensed Authorities.
If you do not belong to a Language for Learning Licensed Authority please contact us to discuss your training needs.
