What do good inclusive teachers do?
•Think of a pupil with SEND in your class
•Think of one thing you do already to meet his/her learning needs
•Give yourself a mark out of 10 for how you meet his/her learning needs
• By the end of this session you will be able to award yourself at least one more mark!

Show me..
Let’s have a look at that

Mind maps and sticky labels•
Move facts around to answer key questions.
•
Visual and active.•
More Interesting form of revising
Mind maps are a great revision tool to explain concepts and ideas based on facts that a student has learnt.

Auditory learners•Prefer to learn by listening and often mentally recall the words they have heard
•Absorb spoken and heard material easily and like being involved in aural questioning rather than reading material
•Prefer listening to lectures, stories and songs
Tell me!
Let’s talk it over

Auditory
learners•Enjoy variations in rhythm , pitch and voice inflection
•Prefer discussing and communicating with other classmates
•Able to perform a new task best after listening to the instructions given by the teacher

•
Use:–
Discussion
–
Testing–
Ipod/MP3
–
Music/ chants/rhyme/mnemonics/–
Songs
–
Self questioning/role play

•
Stepping stones
Teach your group….

Kinesthetic learners•Acquire their knowledge best by doing and moving
•Love moving around frequently and building things with their hands
•Able to learn a new task best by going ahead and trying it out, learning as they go
•Prefer experiments and hands-on experienceLet me try!


Transforming
Go large! The Water Cycle

People can generally remember:
10% of what they read20% of what they hear30% of what they see50% of what they both see and hear70% of what they say90% of what they simultaneously say and do
How will this help you
to plan for pupils with SEND?
(Ekwall
and Shanker, 1988)

Dilemma•
Your school due to cuts in budget has reduced the number of TAs. You no longer have TA support in any of your classes.
•
How will you support pupils with SEND?
•
How will this change what you do?

Think about..VerbaliseReduce textReduce a diagramReduce a story or a playRemove a wordReduce a lesson/unit of work/topic to 5 key pointsConvert a piece of text into a diagram or a pictureConvert a diagram into a play, mime or friezePut key words to music

•
Convert text or a diagram into a model•
Sequencing (explain their reasoning)
•
Use analogy –
it’s like…•
Predicting
•
Classifying –describe/explain, compare/contrast, similarities/differences, cause/effect, positive/negative
•
Create learning/mind maps•
Problem solving/investigation/enquiry
•
Rank order•
Questions to make pupils think (Bloom’s taxonomy)

What are the main features of AfL?
Sharing learning objectives and success criteria with learners
Using effective questioning strategies
Providing positive and specific oral and written feedback
Involving learners in peer and self- assessment
Developing a formative approach to traditional testing
Promoting the belief that every student can succeed
THE ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT OF STUDENTS IN THEIR OWN LEARNING

One thing that I enjoyed doing
One message that I’ll take home with me
