TUTOR TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Build the skills to support different learners.
Effective educational support involves more than knowing a subject. Tutors also need to understand how to explain concepts, identify what a learner already knows, respond when a task becomes difficult and adapt teaching methods to the learner's needs.
TNISA Learning Hub develops practical training opportunities for tutors and educators who want to strengthen their neurodiversity-informed teaching skills.
