About this workshop
How many children are there in our schools or services that have been and remain misunderstood? It seems that our services are filling up with increasing numbers of distressed children. People who work with children can be left feeling disempowered and de-skilled as they try to teach them or support them. The longer we fail to connect with these children, the longer the child will miss out in opportunities in helping them realize their potential.
Special needs assistants are key in supporting children emotionally as well as academically within the class room environment. Often behaviours occur that may need extra attention and guidance, in this workshop Edel will explore
- Importance of the Role of the Special Needs Assistants
- Why children display certain behaviours
- Triggers – how to recognise and respond
- Special Needs Assistants Communication Skills and Knowledge that will assist in regulating children that are distressed.

WOODCOCK JOHNSON IV: TESTS OF ACHIEVEMENT (UK & IRE EDITION)
Suitable for Primary and Post Primary Teachers especially Special Education Teachers
A 3 hour indepth training session will take place here in the Education Centre on the 9th of October. Rebecca Good will go through each of the subtests and there will be time for teachers to ask questions on the test. It is one of the most comprehensive Assessments on the market at the moment.
Gain more information in less time! Now on its fourth edition, the WJ IV is one of the worlds most trusted and reliable assessment tools available for student and adult assessment. With 11 different subtests assessing core areas of reading, writing, and maths across and spanning an age range of 4 – 94 years the WJ IV is a 'must have' for every educational assessor and every educational setting. Developed on the cutting edge of clinical research and practice, the WJ IV is essential for any school or assessor wanting to gain an in-depth understanding of a student’s learning and is the perfect tool for reliably assessing students for access arrangements. This edition of the WJ IV has been adjusted for UK and Ireland audience.
Ages: 4- 90+ years
Administration Time: 5-10 minutes per test
Mode: Pen and Paper Administration; Electronic Scoring
The WJ IV is the perfect assessment for accurately screening, diagnosing, and monitoring progress in reading, writing, and maths achievement areas. The UK and Ireland edition is a special edition of the WJ IV which has been designed and adapted from the WJ IV Tests of Achievement, Form C. While the norms have not changed, all of the content has been anglicised for use in the UK and Ireland and the testing battery has been shortened from 20 tests (standard and extended battery tests available in the full Wj IV) to the 11 core tests (standard battery only) thus making it more economical, affordable, and accessible to those schools and examiners seeking out a reliable and robust assessment tool.
Examiners can choose to administer all 11 subtests or can select individual subtests for isolated use. The WJ IV will allow examiners to gain an in-depth understanding of a person’s academic strengths and weaknesses enabling targeted interventions to be put in place. Scores from the WJ IV can also be used to apply for access arrangements in the UK. With 11 subtests (see table below), spanning a huge age range (4- 90+ years) and assessing areas of early literacy and early number skills as well literacy and maths, the WJ IV is the perfect choice for students in every educational setting.
Subtests of the WJ IV
- suitable for a range of educational settings (early years – adult education)
- profiles students literacy AND maths attainments
- fast administration times (5-10 mins per test)
- Strong diagnostic powers
- standard scores, percentiles and confidence intervals available
- great administration flexibility (choose to administer one, some or all subtests)
- allows a comprehensive understanding of each students pattern strengths and weaknesses
- ability to design targeted interventions and instructional objectives
- use for applications of access arrangements (7 different suitable subtests)
- use to inform decisions around educational placements, programmes, and resources
- computer scoring & reporting saves time and allows student data export and collation of score
