Alongside BPS-approved courses from Dynamic Assessment UK, we offer a variety of downloadable resources. Although our team is based in the UK, this approach is suitable for use in any educational setting.

%22I would like to thank Fraser and Clare for an excellent two-day training course. I have shared my experience of this course with many colleagues and you have inspired me to consider using DA more often in my work. I aim to continue to build my confidence in the approach in order for me to be able to support adults to think about how children learn best”
