ADVANCED DIPLOMA IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: TEACHING
DYSLEXIC ADULTS IN HIGHER EDUCATION (Mentor Training
Scheme)
The course is designed to train graduates to provide
academic support to dyslexic undergraduate students on a
range of courses across the University. The thirty-week
course has an initial training period of six four-hour
sessions exploring a range of issues relating to the
learning style and teaching needs of dyslexic adults.
The course participants ('mentors') will be assigned an
undergraduate student to teach in the first term; upon
completion of the initial training period the number of
tutees will be gradually increased to a maximum of
five students per mentor. Mentors will be expected to
provide weekly one-hour individual learning support
sessions to undergraduates. Regular, on-going
seminars with the course convenor will continue
throughout the academic year for the group of six
mentors; individual sessions will be arranged when
appropriate. The course is accredited by the
University of North London; it has a CATS rating of 45
