Our Training Pyramid shows the levels of expertise recommended by all the leading charities associated with No to Failure, to enable teachers to effectively support all children with dyslexia and other SpLD
The national organisations that have united under the No to Failure project all agree that schools need a tiered approach to training as depicted in the Training Pyramid.
This advocates awareness training for all teachers and support staff, foundation training for all teachers and key support staff, Certificate Level 5 training attended by one Lead Teacher in each primary school (2 per secondary school) and finally an Expert Teacher trained to Certificate/Diploma Level 7 who can be shared between schools at Primary School level. At Secondary School level, we support the view that an Expert Teacher needs to be resident in each school.
This pyramid provides the model for all trailblazers on the ‘No to Failure’ project, and different ways of delivering and implementing the pyramid will be used, ensuring that professionals at each level of the education system can identify and support children with SpLD.
