Be ThAT Teacher! A new opportunity to join the programme
Developing the use of Assistive Technologies in mainstream classrooms can have a transformative impact on learner progress.
We are offering all education settings (5-19) another opportunity to join the highly successful “Be ThAT Teacher” professional development programme, with new cohorts able to join in March and May 2025.
We also look forward to partnering with ASCL, SSAT and Call Scotland to further expand the programme. Through the generous support of HSBC Bank, we were able to enable all training and resources completely free of charge. We are seeking sponsorship to repeat this offer.
Between January 2022 and July 2023, Microlink Education designed and delivered two transformational school improvement projects, with our delivery partner nasen (nationally recognised experts in the development of Special Education Needs provision).
Funded by the Department for Education, and involving over two hundred primary and secondary schools, the project aimed to develop awareness and understanding of the power of assistive technologies to transform mainstream and targeted teaching and learning.
The programmes were an unqualified success, with impact seen in terms of pupil engagement, motivation and access to learning.
