It’s time to create a world where our policies, schools, and communities recognize and invest in the potential of all individuals with learning disabilities (#LD). In this powerful video, we show why the #1in5 are unstoppable forces. #Forces4LD buff.ly/3rfwuco
Download your copy of The Teacher Handbook: SEND!
Executive Functions - it's important to explicitly learn about and teach executive functioning skills. Then use strategies to help students and staff who may have impaired executive functioning. Here's a brief intro adapted from @nasen_org teacher handbook & @ncldorg
We hope that the start of term is going well for those of you in the UK. We will be sharing more resources this year...there's so much to share so we have a schedule 📌with a new topic for each month 🗓️👆. Any qs or areas you want to focus on, we'd love to hear from you👋📨!
Teachers and school staff are heroes. That's all.
Special Educational Needs in Mainstream Schools This practical tool is designed to support teachers in plotting the overlapping needs of their pupils, considering cognition and learning, communication and interaction, and more. Download here: eef.li/send/
It is often hard for students to access exam questions that require long form responses. Why not try a writing frame to support students to break down the question into sections, as in this Geography example! @TeachitGeog
A great example of how we can decode key words for students in maths @OxfordEdMaths @TeachitMaths
Writing frames are really useful when trying to improve the quality of language used in responses. Try these from @OUPSecondaryEng @teachitenglish
Struggling to get students to form answers for English Literature? Start with a writing frame to prompt ideas! @OUPSecondaryEng @teachitenglish
Try using writing frames with SEND students to devlop skills such as using PEE (Point, Evidence, Explanation) in their writing!
Try using writing frames when writing stories and descriptive pieces of writing!
Do you use writing frames in Science to support SEND students to learn and use key vocabulary? @TeachitScience
Why not try using writing frames to support SEND students with planning their learning. For example, you may use a writing frame when students are planning for a science experiment!
Support SEND students in maths by using language and writing frames @OxfordEdMaths @TeachitMaths
SEND students struggling to remember the meaning of command words? Writing frames can help students recall when different command words are used. See this example from: @OxfordEdMaths @TeachitMaths
