SPELD NZ 2010 Conference - Promoting Positive Connections

With a focus on creating a positive learning environment in the classroom, the 2010 conference  showed us how to help learners with SLD/Dyslexia and updated us  with the latest brain research and how this impacted our understanding of learning differences.

Dr Loretta Giorcelli from Sydney, Australia showed us the links between learning and behaviour and how this effects success in the classroom. She  discussed how good quality teaching effected students with academic and social vulnerabilites. Happy children learn better! This was reinforced by the work of Dr Lorraine Hammond looking at best practice in her research in Western Australian Schools.
