<p>Teaching schools have a responsibility through their delivery of Continuing Professional
and Leadership Development to develop future head teachers to help meet the most pressing
national needs in primary, small rural, special, challenging urban/coastal and faith
schools. This includes supporting and training teachers to meet the needs of children
and young people with special educational needs and disability (SEND), including dyslexia.
The Department does not prescribe approaches to be used by teaching schools but we
know from monitoring data, that many Teaching School Alliances run specific dyslexia
courses.</p><p>In addition, through their role in designating and brokering Specialist
Leaders of Education (SLE), Teaching School Alliances are able to offer schools access
to a range of SEN expertise. A total of 939 SLEs are designated with a SEN specialism.</p><p>We
have also enabled teachers to develop their practice in supporting children with SEN
and disabilities through the National Scholarship Fund, which allowed teachers to
apply for funding to undertake postgraduate level qualifications in specific impairments.</p>
