DAS Academy: LEARNING FESTIVAL

Supporting learners with Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs) is a demanding undertaking. The inaugural online LEARNING FESTIVAL organised by DAS Academy, a subsidiary of the Dyslexia Association of Singapore, aims to increase understanding and offer practical help that will make important differences.

Catered to practitioners, educators and caregivers working with learners with SpLDs, the festival aims to promote awareness of the barriers to learning for people with SpLD and assist attendees to better apply practical instructional strategies to support these learners.

The Learning Festival is packed with a variety of webinars to help one acquire the knowledge and understanding needed to facilitate conducive learning environments in SpLD classrooms and homes.

Led by an expert team of DAS Academy lecturers, the interactive programme provides tips on virtual and in-person classroom management, literacy and arithmetic skills, emotional and behavioural management and more!

Webinars will be divided into two streams and participants can attend either based on their preference, and are able to shift between both streams at the end of each webinar. There will also be a Q&A session, where all attendees can look forward to engaging with the full team of experts to have additional queries answered.

STREAM 1:

• Creating an Inclusive Learning Environment for Special Educational Needs (SEN) Learners
• Learning in a Virtual Classroom
• Beating the Punctuation Frustration
• Hands on with Algebra!

STREAM 2:

• Sustaining Attention
• Planning and Organising
• Managing Emotions
• Positive Habits to Help Your Child Manage Their Own Mental Well-being

We look forward to seeing you at the festival!
