Hi
Can anyone advise me about the time needed to complete this award? I know there are six taught days and four ‘days off’ school are recommended, but realistically, how much time in addition to this did you need in order to complete the award?
I’m an experienced teacher (25 years in secondary, 15 teaching SEN English) currently working 0:3ft as a 1:1 literacy teacher and an unofficial Senco assistant. I desperately want to do the award (and have school’s support) and in the future work as a primary Senco, but I’m worried that I’ll just not be able to find the free time to do it and end up looking like an idiot!
(For context, I have two toddlers with additional needs, both have EHCPs and high level DLA and partner works away. They are rarely asleep before 9 pm and often wake during the night. I don’t have a big support network).
Am I mad? I so want to achieve this, but not if I’m setting myself up to fail.
