Update - applies to full Associate (ADG), Member (MDG) and Fellows (FDG) who are eligible to work in schools.

We are excited about the opportunity to provide tuition for children and young people who might not otherwise receive the support they need at this time.

The Professional Tutoring Partnership is seeking to engage 175 freelance tutors.  In the first instance, we will be contacting the 400+ professional members of Patoss, BDA or The Dyslexia Guild who originally replied to our survey seeking tutors interested in tutoring with the Professional Tutoring Partnership. We are looking for tutors who share our commitment to supporting disadvantaged learners and who wish to deliver the PTP tuition programme. Our 15hrs tuition programme has a key focus on developing learner engagement and strategies for independent learning and includes the development of skills for writing and/or numeracy.

This is our first round of tutor engagement and your form needs to be with us by midday on Monday 9th November noon. We may open a second round with a specific call for tutors in particular regions.

Our new model, approved by the National Tutoring Programme (NTP) assumes that 175 tutors will work across approximately 250 schools dotted around the country. To tutor our current NTP allocation of 4584 pupils we require experienced tutors delivering an average of 7 hours of tutoring a week non-stop over two terms. This is an average and the distribution of hours over the two terms may differ and some tutors may do more and some may do fewer hours. Being able to offer more hours will help us deliver our allocation before the deadline.

From 2nd November schools started contacting us to request PTP tuition. All schools are requesting tuition to take place in schools, in line with Government regulations regarding Covid-19 and following each school's safety guidelines. We may develop an online option later in this project, with the support of the NTP.

If there are schools you are already working in or a local Special School or an Alternative Provision near you please bring do bring this opportunity for subsidised tuition to the school’s attention THIS WEEK.

Please share the tutorpartnership.com website with schools.

Calibre Audio is participating in The Big Give Christmas Challenge this year (the biggest match funding event in the UK which raises millions of pounds for charity).

They are aiming to raise £12,000 to add 48 new titles to their collection, and have created a digital advent calendar with a brilliant new adult and young member audiobook for each day of advent.

For many Calibre Audio members, the service is the only way that they can access books so the fundraising campaign is a fantastic opportunity to add great new titles to the collection and keep reading open to all.

Dr.Philip MacMillian, an Educational Psychologist, is looking to recruit children (and adults) from 9 years old who have a diagnosis of dyslexia or who are not making good progress in reading with their current level of support. This is an innovative remedial reading programme at the Graduate School of Education Learning Lab under the direction of Prof.Brahm Norwich.

Spaces are limited.

The method (Own Voice Intensive Phonics- OVIP) uses the learner's own voice recorded in a specific way to deliver the lessons, which are practiced at home via a laptop or other device, it has been shown to be very effective.  Routinely word recognition skills increase by 2-3 years by programme end.

The lessons, which are delivered online in a one-to-one setting using the free version of Vsee Messenger or similar and take approximately 20 minutes.  The recorded lesson is emailed out for further practice at home. Lessons are delivered usually on a Saturday/ Sunday or by prior arrangement at other times.  There is no charge, but it is required that parent and child attend an initial online interview.  Philip will pre-test and post-test each participant. A report on each learner’s progress will be provided at programme end.  Adults and Homeschoolers welcome.

Email Philip  p.macmillan@exeter.ac.uk  with any questions.  More details https://t.co/0qgcLE40NU?amp=1 or http://blogs.exeter.ac.uk/OVIP/.

Children’s education has been placed at the heart of the Government’s COVID recovery plan and we now know that schools will be opening from 8th March. Weekly tuition and the National TutoringProgramme remains a key commitment and is one of five approaches the Government is backing to address gaps in learning for children and young people.

Patoss, the British Dyslexia Association, Helen Arkell Dyslexia Association, Dyslexia Action and RealGroup joined together to form the Professional Tutoring Partnership in order to provide disadvantaged children with specialist teaching at a time when they most need help to get back on track with learning. The partners were certain that this was an opportunity that spld and dyslexia tutors would want to take to make a difference together.

A big thank you to those tutors who have joined the Professional Tutoring Partnership. The next few weeks are important for us. We have the backing of the National Tutoring Programme to provide face to face and online tuition in schools across the country. We are working hard to arrange tuition to start during March and as soon as possible once schools open. We would value the support of specialistteachers and members in promoting our work to schools. Please find our flyer for more details, we welcome enquiries (tutorpartnership.com).
