Hello, I wondered if anyone can advise me? I have QTS and years of primary teaching experience, excellent educational qualifications prior to that. I did a Level 5 SpLD during lockdown, as a springboard to returning to work as I was on maternity leave - well I had left my teaching position.
I have wondered about going on to do the Level 7 to qualify as a Dyslexia Assessor however I really don’t want to spend lots of money if the field is saturated with assessors. As it’s all private practise I am finding it very obscure - I cannot work out how much employment there is out there. I had an interview for a frankly badly paid position in a school as a learning support tutor and didn’t get it this week. Apparently there were many many applications and experienced
candidates. Which has made me a little alarmed about committing to the level 7.
I wonder if I may be better off returning to the classroom as a mainstream teacher?
id really appreciate any insight anyone can offer.
with many thanks!!
