Audience: Teachers

Schools in the hub area have identified a growing need to consider what high quality teaching means for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disability. Leaders have identified how the achievement gap between SEND and Non-SEND pupils continues to grow, especially due to the pandemic. Therefore, leaders express a strong moral imperative to close this gap for a group of pupils who often have the greatest need for excellence. The sessions have been designed around the EEF framework. The sessions will cover:

1. Creating a positive and supportive environment for SEND pupils
2. Understanding SEND needs based on the assess, plan, do review cycle
3. Ensuring and assuring high quality teaching for SEND pupils (1) Focus on flexible grouping and metacognitive strategies for SEND
4. Ensuring and assuring high quality teaching for SEND pupils (2) Focus on explicit instruction and scaffolding for SEND
5. How can the use of technology contribute to a high-quality teaching offer for SEND pupils?
6. What makes effective interventions for SEND pupils?
7. Effective use of teaching assistants to impact progress in SEND This professional development course fits into the aims within the white paper namely:

• timely identification of need
• accurate assessment in all schools of need

An evidence-based response: children who are identified as needing academic, pastoral or specialist support will receive high-quality, evidence-based help

• identification of where additional support is required
• where they need additional support.
• Transparency: parents will be better informed about their child’s progress, and the support their child receives
