Sharing information

• Some Difficulties

Student by Student

• SPOT Folders

• Tutors- Photos

• PP/SEND Register

• Tracking, assessing and monitoring

Quality First Teaching

• ALL students are entitled to it.

• We should treat all PP/SEND students as individuals- get to know them.

• Grouping all PP/SEND is not helpful. Many have differing levels of difficulties

Quality First Teaching

• What can we do that is in addition to what we normally do to be mindful of the barriers?

• What is needed that may be seen as extra/different?

For example:

• When setting homework, can your PP student access the internet at home? Will they have reading material? A space to write? (Do not assume, but find out?)

My aims…• Collaboration- neighbouring schools

• Visits- sending staff

• Staff training- skills and subject knowledge audit

• Pre- transition- more information

• Oracy- talk like an expert

• Sharing successes- expecting excellence/inter school sharing

• Parenting skills- classes/engagement

• Student voice- ask them…
