SEND and Adaptive Teaching Strategies Inclusion Forum

Led by Specialist Teacher (SLD) Cole Andrew.

About the session

Adapting teaching. A proven model for helping teachers develop action-based research, adapting teaching in a way that is more likely to meet the range of needs of pupils in each classroom.

Key objectives include:

Understand key principles in research for supporting pupils who may not be using their voice in school for various reasons.
Understand and practice commonly used strategies for supporting pupils with communication strategies.
Take away practical hands-on strategies – explore practice in use of visual symbols.

Overview

Pupils with SEND require support that is tailored to their specific needs. Daily practice in varying teaching approaches is key to this but many struggle with the current pressure to ‘adhere rigidly’ to the planned schemes of work.

Adaptive teaching requires teachers to continually match strategies and resources to the pupils’ needs. @Graham Chisnell (Irresistible Learning and co-founding member of the Chartered College) will coach delegates through a clear process for teachers to follow in developing action-based research in their classrooms.

This published 8 step model has played a significant role in improving the quality of teaching and pupil progress in schools, leading to successful outcomes with Ofsted. This session complements our pre-existing SEND and Adaptive Teaching Course. Applying this approach will aid school leaders in evidencing ‘inclusive’ practice and ‘adaptive’ teaching in readiness for the published changes in the Ofsted framework.

Who Should Attend?
This event is ideal for Teachers, Early Years Teachers, Teaching Assistants, SENCOs, SEND Leaders, Headteachers, Inclusion Leads, Trust Leaders, and Department Leaders who are involved in the provision and management of SEND in their schools.

There is also an additional morning CPD course which you can attend from 9am on the same day. Including advice from experienced classroom practitioners in supporting pupils with alternative methods of communicating.
