Abstract
We present the results from a teacher workshop co-created with a local dyslexia charity which aimed to raise awareness of dyslexia. Research evidence indicates that the teachers feel that initial and subsequent teacher training does not adequately cover dyslexia and other SEN. Approximately sixty teaching staff members from six schools (four primary and two secondary) participated in the workshops. We administered a pre- and post-workshop survey to capture the training needs and the impact of the targeted action-led workshop. Results from qualitative and quantitative analyses indicated that the teachers at the end of the workshop felt confident and powerful in identifying and supporting learners with dyslexia. The educational and policy implications of the initiative are discussed.
