A great opportunity for any probationer teachers or any educator wanting to learn how to support Dyslexia in the classroom.
Probationer teachers can upskill on dyslexia right at the start of their careers. This free online event is also open experienced educators to get a clear, simple structure for noticing needs early and taking the right steps. Tag a teacher!

We've heard you — Teach users write in an English variant other than US English, and localized content matters. Starting today, Teach supports three new English locales: English (United Kingdom), English (Canada), and English (Australia).
How it works:
If you're using Teach for the first time, the language is automatically selected based on your browser language settings. So if your browser is set to en-GB, Teach will default to English (United Kingdom).
If you've used Teach before, it will default to your previously used language. You can switch anytime from the Language dropdown when creating content.
We've also updated the age/year selection to match what's appropriate for each locale — so you'll see "Year 9" instead of "Grade 9" when using English (UK), for example.
This is available to everyone right now. Give it a try and let us know how the generated content works for your locale!
How great is this Canva Revision Toolkit 🤩
This toolkit focuses on active revision, helping students move beyond simply reviewing content to actually creating, explaining and applying what they know.
