Inclusive Online Learning - Educator Training for schools, tutors & learner support

Launching Soon - Reserve Place

All schools are facing real challenges:

  • Learners with SEN & SEMH, anxiety, ADHD, or autism struggling to attend & engage
  • More students learning remotely, flexibly, or in alternative provision

  • Deliver calm, structured, accessible online learning
  • Build trust and engagement in virtual classrooms
  • Differentiate with flexible, neurodivergent-friendly tools

Why does a school need this?

Inclusive Curriculum, Contents and Training Resources at your fingertips

Rising Demand for Inclusive Digital Learning

  • Mainstream schools are increasingly supporting learners with diverse needs—including those with ADHD, autism, trauma, anxiety, and school avoidance.
  • Post-COVID, more schools use online and hybrid provision for: Re-engagement Part-time timetables Reintegration Alternative provision within mainstreamLack of Training in Inclusive Online Practice
  • Most teacher training does not prepare educators for inclusive digital delivery.
  • Gaia’s CPD course covers practical, immediate strategies for: Building trust online Differentiation in multi-ability groups Supporting executive function and focus

Educators often know how to teach in a classroom. But how do you engage a disengaged student online, when you can't even see them?

Addresses Common Challenges in Classrooms

  • Modules tackle real-world barriers such as: School refusers needing part-time remote support Mixed-ability settings needing flexible differentiation Emotional regulation and behaviour support in online lessons

Supports New Roles and Responsibilities

  • Many mainstream schools are building online learning units, SEND resource hubs, or offering flexible inclusion timetables. This course empowers TAs, pastoral leads, and SENCos to lead that provision.

Whole-School and Individual Pathways

  • CPD is adaptable: from one motivated teacher to a whole-staff rollout with leadership action planning.
  • It encourages systemic change and school-wide culture shift around inclusive digital provision.
