This project builds on the Framework for Understanding Dyslexia and contributes to meeting Government targets for improving standards. This includes developing training, linked to supported online learning, for non-specialist teachers and support assistants.

Supporting Dyslexia Learners involves:

• developing, piloting and delivering a training programme for teachers and learning support assistants who work in many contexts and settings across the Learning and Skills Sectors (as identified in Success for All)
• developing, piloting, evaluating and producing a suite of materials and resources for use by trainers to support the training of teachers and learning support assistants
• bringing together the training programme and materials and resources to train a network of teacher trainers
• ensuring that all trainers, training materials and resources and training programmes are embedded within the Skills for Life Quality Initiative
• ensuring the collection of qualitative and quantitative information and undertaking case study creation, and dissemination and mainstreaming in organisational practice.
