Delivered by experienced Educational Psychologists who are part of the UK MeLSA network.
Build excellence in your setting with our hybrid Mediated Learning Support Approach (ELSA) Training Course—an extensive training course to upskill your staff in understanding how learning happens, and how they can best support.
This flexible training is designed for school staff to utilise individually, as part of SEN support programmes or within group and classroom settings. The learning taken away will be applicable in a range of settings with all ages.
Throughout the programme, MeLSA Coaches gain the skills to:
Apply psychological theories of learning to intervention planning.
Adjust and adapt programmes or interventions for individual learners.
Support teachers to facilitate metacognition, working memory and mediated learning within the classroom.
Deepen their understanding of literacy and numeracy learning and what to do when a young person experiences difficulties in these areas.
Facilitate both individual, group-based and class support.
One of the most valued outcomes of the training is the ability to confidently create individualised intervention plans, leading to more meaningful progress and improved wellbeing outcomes for children.
Following the first year of training, all MeLSAs receive ongoing psychological supervision—ensuring they continue to develop their skills and deepen their knowledge.
This course is open to staff working within a school setting.
As part of the programme, each participant’s line manager will be invited to a virtual information session to understand the MeLSA role and how best to support implementation in school.
