The MeLSA Series (all 6 sessions)

MeLSA stands for Mediated Learning Support Approach – a professional development programme that transforms the role of support staff into learning mediators, helping children become independent, resilient, and reflective learners.

Based on the principles of mediated learning and cognitive development, the MeLSA Series helps children overcome learning barriers by focusing on how they think and learn — not just what they learn.

MeLSA is available to staff working in primary schools or those who work with pupils who have cognition and learning difficulties in secondary schools.

Costings: £500 for the full MeLSA series (6 sessions)
