Teaching and Learning Conference 2019: Collaborative teaching and learning: Speech and Language Therapy students and trainee teachers learning to work together

Speech and Language therapists and teachers are required to work closely together to meet the needs of children who have speech and language difficulties. However students training to work in these roles have traditionally been given limited opportunities to develop their collaborative working skills. An innovative teaching and learning session was created by HE teachers in Speech and Language Therapy and Education. Final year students on the BSc Speech and Language Therapy course and teacher trainees on the PGCE (Primary) course have participated in the session which has now been running for three years. We will present an outline of the content of the session what we have learnt and our plans for the future.
