Adaptive Teaching : Meeting the needs of students with SEND
This programme will aim to empower teachers to embed a range of strategies which specifically target their students with SEND. There will be a focus on the most common conditions seen in students with SEND in mainstream education: dyslexia, autism spectrum condition, ADHD and speech and language conditions. The first session will be delivered in-person by the organisation Whole School SEND. The session will review the SEND Code of Practice and other resources, and provide training on each specific condition. Delegates will apply practical strategies from the programme to either a class or selection of students identified within their school. In the remaining sessions we will focus on a carefully selected range of classroom strategies. Each session will host expert colleagues who will draw upon experience and a solid evidence-base. The ‘buddy system’ will allow delegates to nurture opportunities for collaboration, coaching and accountability. Delegates will trial a small sample of these strategies specifically targeted at their chosen class or student(s). The programme will provide targeted and precise strategies which are best suited to meeting the needs of their individual students. Suitable for The programme is designed for all primary and secondary school teachers. We will be using the ‘buddy system’ which means delegates will be partnered with someone working in the same phase as them. The programme will be delivered by experienced and highly trained facilitators.
