Differentiation- Task

A-Z Checklist for TAs• Ask challenging questions that encourage the pursuit of excellence Assess when pupils can be moved on to an extra extension task• Bring different opinions, ideas & experiences to class discussions Build self esteem in your class • Catch them being clever and reward them• Differentiate the lesson instructions/activities according to need• Elaborate on difficult questions Encouragement through individual quiet words on a one-to- one basis• Foster creativeness from the students Find the invisible child• Generate lesson activities Give advice on an activity• Hand out resources leaving the teacher free to explain the tasks Help pupils to organise their ideas before writing.• Individual attention given to pupils who need extra support at times Identify success from the students they are supporting• Join in with activities with all the class Just take a minute to brief your LSA before/after the lesson or drop an email• Keep students focused and on task• Listen to reading groups Lead small groups• Monitor progress of individual or group • Negotiate with students to move them on to more challenging tasks Notice the underachiever and report back to teacher• Organise some pupils eg. Write homework in planner • Present ideas in a variety of ways e.g. Mind maps, suggestions for learning styles Praise – in writing and verbally• Quirkily contribute to and enrich classroom discussions Question pupils with open ended questions• Revivify subject content incorporating a different point of view Reinforce lesson objectives/outcomes• Support other students allowing teacher time with SEND students. Spot the off task student• Tell teacher of pupils working well - praise them Take notes if student is absent or unable to keep up• Unable to support fully unless we become a professional teaching team• Valuable support & stress relief with a difficult class or student Visualisation help for SEND students• Work with small groups of pupils in or outside of the classroom Write key words in glossaries• (e)Xplore higher order thinking skills• Yield results when we work together as a team• Zoom into the vulnerable/difficult student to ensure that they get on task quickly

Agile Teaching and Learning- OCC

1) analysis of evidence leading to quality information being made available to support2) detailed planning, including the provision of appropriate resources 3) Students in the best practice, actively sharing in their learning journey, which is4) tracked and reviewed at regular intervals with5) records being collated and disseminated, allowing the process to be cyclic and developmental

Inclusive Teaching

New SEN/D Policy- DRAFT

Teaching Staff and Teaching Assistants

• Class teachers are involved in the development of the school’s SEN/D policy and implement the procedures for identifying, assessing and making provision for pupils with SEN/D, including planning for differentiation.

• The identification of SEN is built into the overall approach to monitoring the progress and development of pupils.

• Class teachers are responsible for working with children on a daily basis and closely monitor children involved in interventions away from the main class.

• Teachers work closely with teaching assistants to plan and assess the impact of support and interventions and how they can be linked to classroom teaching.

Responsibility

• The Teacher must be involved in all interventions

• The skills learnt must then be practiced in class

• Student/Parent focused

Challenges

Specific circumstances • Progress can be affected by a number of factors inside

and outside of the setting or school including family crises, bereavement and bullying. Some of these will not necessarily lead to a learner having SEN but may cause significant short term needs.

• Behavioural difficulties do not necessarily mean that a child or young person has a SEN, but consistent disruptive or withdrawn behaviours can indicate underlying and unmet needs and so it’s important to look across the range of indicators to check where difficulties originate.

Short/Medium/Long Term planning…

Focus on outcomes

• Creativity!

Know your children well...
