Rowan Gate Outreach Courses
Rowan Gate's Outreach Courses are designed to bridge the gap between Special Education settings and Mainstream schools. These courses aim to support educational professionals by sharing best practices, strategies, and specialist knowledge. Our goal is to foster a collaborative environment where insights from Special Education can enhance inclusive practices in mainstream settings, ensuring all children receive the support they need to thrive. Join us to deepen your understanding and equip yourself with the tools to better serve diverse learners in your educational community.
