Key Messages

The needs of pupils, based on evidence, should determine which form of teaching support is most appropriate. The range of teaching supports should strike a balance between team- teaching, group and individual support and early intervention programmes. Team-Teaching can facilitate effective collaboration, between SET and classroom teachers leading to improved learner outcomes, learning experiences and teacher practices. Meaningful inclusion implies that all pupils are taught in stimulating and supportive classroom environments where they are respected and valued.

Inclusive Education

“…addressing and responding to the diversity of needs of learners through enabling active participation in learning, cultures, and communities, and removing barriers to education through the accommodation and provision of appropriate structures and arrangements” NCSE (2010)

Guiding Principles

Resources provided should facilitate the development of truly inclusive schools. Supports provided should be based on identified needs as

  • utlined in the

Continuum of Support Guidelines. The class teacher has primary responsibility all pupils. SET should be used solely for the support of pupils with identified special educational needs, including those pupils for whom English is an Additional Language (EAL). Pupils with the greatest levels of need should have access to the greatest level of support. Schools with more than

  • ne support teacher

should establish and maintain a core team of teachers to meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs.

  • Informed by continuous and multiple

assessments

  • Provide rich contexts for learning
  • Provide explicit instruction
  • Teach to children’s capabilities while

targeting specific areas of difficulties

  • Provide multiple opportunities to read

and write

  • Embed skills and strategies
  • Varying complexity levels of texts
  • Differentiated instruction

Conversation in Action

Modelling

  • Teacher uses ‘think aloud’ to model effective

conversations

  • Teacher refers to ‘living’ charts for structure,

language features and speaking and listening skills

  • Teacher elicits input from the pupils e.g. What

might happen next in the conversation?

  • Pupils do the speaking and listening in pairs or

groups with help from the teacher or other sources at pre-determined points
