Addacus Launches Training for Beat Dyscalculia Pack 3

We are pleased to announce that we have recently added training for Beat Dyscalculia Pack 3 (covering dealing with bigger numbers, fractions, money, decimals, time and times tables) to our range of Beat Dyscalculia training courses.

Beat Dyscalculia creator, Celia Stone said,  ‘We’ve been offering training on packs 1 and 2 for a while, but due to growing demand we’re now also offering training for pack 3.  As a result, we are now going into schools and training all the staff on each of the 3 packs.  Schools in Warrington in Cheshire, Brighouse in West Yorkshire and Newcastle in Tyne and Wear have all recently completed the full course.  We’re also finding that more and more secondary schools are inviting us in to help them work with Year 7 students who are below the expected level in numeracy and are struggling with the transition from primary to high school.’

Each course is delivered by Celia and lasts approximately half a day.  They cover all the topics, resources and activities for that pack and are suitable for all SENCOs, teachers, teaching assistants and parents who are interested in:

  • learning more about specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia and dyscalculia they can affect how a child learns in numeracy
  • working one to one or in small groups with children who are struggling in numeracy
  • finding out how to use and get the most out of the Beat Dyscalculia resources
  • discovering new ideas and ways of teaching numeracy

Each half day course costs £500 + VAT for 10+ attendees (or £50 + VAT per person for less than 10 attendees).
