[senco-forum] Specialist teacher

Hi all -

Looking at the role of the specialist teacher in our school -

Help please!

Do schools give recognition for the above post/qualifications?

What time is allowed for assessing for exams?

All feedback gratefully received - at present we employ an independent
Ed Psych - but need some in-house arrangements, hence now have the
Diploma in SpLD from Univ of Edin and going to complete the Certificate
in Educational Testing by Dyslexia Action - may even go for AMBDA status
(is this worth it?) -

Tks

Stuart
