Ken Macintosh MSP with Nick Ward from NAS Scotland TEACHER training is to be changed to ensure all those studying for a career in the classroom are better informed about autism. The proposal forms part of an action plan described by campaigners as “life-changing” for both pupils and teachers. The plan, produced by the Scottish Government, the General Teaching Council for Scotland, Education Scotland and the Scottish Council of Deans of Education, bids to improve autism awareness and training within schools and other educational settings. It also contains a pledge for there to be a “common baseline of content on autism” in all initial teacher education.
