University of Northampton (UK) is inviting applications for its Indian chapter of MA Education course from teachers and professional colleagues in India who have difficulties committing themselves to attend the course at the University campus in England. The two year part-time study will have a Bangalore based cohort and will provide participants with opportunities to enhance their practice by reflecting on their own personal and professional experiences.
The course is suitable for teachers working in an Indian context who wish to further their understanding and skills in relation to teaching and supporting children with special educational needs and learning difficulties. It will be taught by Professor Richard Rose and Professor John Visser from the University, who have an experience of working in an Indian environment, alongside local Indian tutors who are experienced in addressing a range of special educational needs.

All students will have full library access and support throughout their studies. The modules are assessed through a series of procedures designed to enhance participants’ academic interpretation of key issues whilst also applying innovation and practical solutions to commonly confronted classroom issues.â€

The modules are assessed through a series of procedures designed to enhance participants’ academic interpretation of key issues whilst also applying innovation and practical solutions to commonly confronted classroom issues.
