Senior Trainer, Coach, Mentor

Sally-Ann Morrison

Hello there! I'm Sally-Ann, a former Patoss APC reviewer with over 25 years of experience as an SpLD Specialist. Throughout my career, I've contributed to postgraduate courses at London South Bank and Edge Hill University, where I served as Senior Lecturer on the AMBDA programme. As an assessor and long term APC holder myself, I can fully empathise with the challenges you may encounter in your professional journey. My goal is to support you in navigating your professional role and to enhance your skills as an assessor. I have a great network of fellow specialists and regularly consult with SASC to ensure that Praxis content is relevant, up to date and accurate. I am often commended on my ability to simplify potentially complex information, and I strive to bring that clarity to my training and coaching sessions. By working with me, you will embrace my motto of 'This is a do-able job.' I am here to guide you, fine tune you, and demonstrate that maintaining excellence in this field is within your reach.

Excellent value for money. Very knowledgeable. It helped me to go back through my CPD log and ensure my reflections were detailed. I recently passed my APC and this was commented in the review. Highly recommended.

Thanks very much for such a comprehensive overview of submitting a CPD log. There have been so many changes in the world of assessment and report writing, that I realise that my CPD log is not up to scratch. Have now studied the SASC guidance and feel more confident about submitting my request for 4th renewal.

I am due to renew this time next year. From following the Praxis CPD community I knew this was something I had to do and I was just going to try and muddle my way through. I am used to completing a reflective CPD log as I had to do this for many years as a requirement for IFL membership (now disbanded). However having to compartmentalise the CPD into different areas is something new for me. As with all of Sally-Ann's webinars, it was delivered with a great sense of humour and amazing in depth knowledge. I now have to put into practice what I set out as my aim at the beginning of the webinar, so go on Denys, get on with it!

I'm so glad I bought this course, as I will be renewing my APC at some point this summer for the first time. I was completely unaware that we were supposed to write a reflective log - I'm not sure we were told that on my original SpLD training?!?!? If we were, then they didn't make it clear and I don't remember it! Thankfully, I do have the list of everything I've done over the last 3 yrs, but I'm not sure I knew about needing to 5 hrs of SASC authorised training every year. Very glad I did this in advance or the renewal and it's given me loads of tips so I can prep. Thank you again for another excellent course!

Having been fully self employed now for 14 months, I really find that the CPD sessions from Praxis help me to stay informed and not feel too alone in my practice. This CPD session has confirmed what I already knew was needed for my CPD element of the APC Renewal process but it also helped to remind me to 'reflect' on my CPD and add the 'impact' of the training in my records. So - the impact of this training will be me ensuring that I complete my CPD record fully, with the correct hours, including the 5 hrs of SASC training; but also to reflect on the time spent on the particular CPD - what do I now know that I didn't before? In this case - a very loud reaffirming of completing my CPD as I go ad not leaving it until the last minute!!

I'm due to renew my APC (as an established assessor) in August, so was very interested in the course content. Sally-Ann has a real gift in making complex things easy, or as easy as they can be. Incredibly calm with a reassuring voice, steady pace, humorous approach to some of the harder parts of the course and a lot of respect for fellow assessors. The latter is very important because too many presenters focus on their material rather than attendees and their actual needs. This is where Sally-Ann excels. I can't thank Sally-Ann enough for this webinar. I thought I just needed reassurance but I got way more than that.

FAQ

  • Can I use these courses towards my CPD record for APC?

    This is CPD about how to complete your CPD record, so it is a slightly different emphasis to all of the other Praxis content. As with all of the sessions, if you are able to show how this has impacted on you in your own professional practice, you will be able to claim the time spent.

  • For how long am I able to access the course content?

    You will have unlimited access to the course content for 21 days from the day you book. You are able to dip in and out as much as you wish during your access time.

  • Will I receive a certificate of completion?

    If you complete 100% of the course, you will be able to claim your certificate at the end.

  • Can I connect with other people who have completed this course?

    Yes- there are options to join in with discussions for each lesson, as well as to join the Praxis CPD Community which is a great way of networking with other SpLD Specialists.

  • How long will the course take to complete?

    This course will take approximately 1.5 hours to complete
