CPD Made Easy – Part 3: Dyslexia Friendly Learning Environment Audit

We're all familiar with that moment of panic when you realise you have 10 minutes to prepare for a staff INSET and you have nothing. There's no time to scan the internet and digest the research - you need something now! In this article I'm offering you 5 zero prep ideas for staff CPD. The focus is on dyslexia, but bear in mind that the most impactful CPD focuses on strategies for high quality teaching, which, of course, are helpful for all learners, not just those with dyslexia.


CPD Session Idea 3: Dyslexia Friendly Learning Environment Audit


Dyslexia friendly environments are not about coloured overlays and paper! They’re about high quality teaching and learning, and developing a culture that celebrates neurodiversity and has inclusivity at its core. Why not spend some time as a staff working through the primary or secondary Dyslexia Friendly Teaching and Learning Checklists

These checklists can stand alone as a tool for CPD or can be used to conduct an environmental audit together – and the best bit is that these strategies are great for all learners. If you do an environmental audit, don’t forget to allocate time to review in a few months’ time.
