Hello -
So at the moment we are living abroad through DH work. There is an International school where I have done occasional supply work.
I trained to teach in Secondary (English) in the UK then ended up teaching primary in various International schools and as an HLTA in the UK.
I didn't end up getting my QTS at the end of my training year because of a sudden move overseas, so when we go back to England I will have to do some sort of pgce/gtp programme, which doesn't daunt me too much.
However I really want to use these next two years to do something for my career. I'm thinking either some distance learning as well as trying to get some voluntary support teaching.
But not sure what training would be the most useful? Should I go the whole way and do a degree level Child psychology? Is there a particularly good provider training teachers in Special Needs?
Could I do some short courses when back in the UK? Any good reading resources you would recommend?
I would really want the best possible training, as I now have the luxury of time and a bit of money to invest in this. I am really interested in how children's development, aspects of dyslexia, adhd etc… and trying to really understand how a young person's brain works.
Any advice would be most welcome, thank you!

Would you recommend a Senco/SN career and how to go about it while abroad?
