Spring is a time of year that often brings an influx of special education evaluations, which require time for planning, conducting assessments, analyzing results, collaborating with others, documenting the findings, and holding evaluation meetings. Because the influx of evaluations is often not accompanied by a reduction in other responsibilities, a teamwork approach to the evaluations is crucial for meeting the needs of students and completing comprehensive evaluations.

Special end-of-year promotion for schools: Many schools are facing challenges around inclusion and negative press coverage recently. This, coupled with the end-of-year workload on teachers who are marking exams and preparing lessons for the new year, can create significant stress. We understand the increased mental burden teachers face with students becoming disengaged as the academic year wraps up. Tolu Wellspring can help you ensure teachers don't experience burnout during this demanding period. Additionally, we recognise the importance of teachers employing inclusive practices for students from all backgrounds, genders, and abilities. We are flexible and happy to adapt our approach to your specific needs. Research consistently shows a positive correlation between a positive school climate and student achievement, teacher satisfaction, and reduced absenteeism. Our training programs aim to empower your school to cultivate this environment. We also offer September INSET day training sessions, which you can book now to avoid disappointment, to equip returning teachers with the tools and strategies to inspire students for the new year and prioritise Wellbeing and Inclusion.
