Teaching approach to students with SEN

Teachers are responsible and accountable for the progress and development of all the students in their class. High-quality teaching is our first step in responding to students who have SEND. This will be personalised for individual students and will include; • Highly focused lesson design with sharp learning objectives, • High demands of student involvement and engagement with their learning, • High levels of interaction for all students, • Appropriate use of questioning, modelling and explaining on the part of the teacher, • An emphasis on learning through dialogue, with regular opportunities for students to talk both individually and in groups, • An expectation that students will accept responsibility for their own learning and work independently, • Regular use of encouragement and authentic praise to engage and motivate students
