Curriculum Content and delivery
Teachers to consider the following:
- Are recommendations from specialist support services being used to support the development of curriculum content and delivery for the young person?
- Are teaching and learning opportunities suitably differentiated to take into account the young person’s sensory needs?
- Are appropriate levels of intellectual challenge and support for individuals consistently provided?
- Are the sensory and physical demands of the subject area considered and adjustments made in order to improve access where appropriate through:
- Differentiating by task, outcome or teaching materials?
- Allowing more time to complete tasks (this is incorporated into curriculum planning)?
- Opportunities for distributed practice (little and often) and interleaved learning (mixing the old and new learning)?
- Are young people given opportunities to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways, such as:
- The use of alternative methods of recording?
- Use of appropriate ICT?
- Are teaching assistants used to deliver structured evidence-based interventions?
- Are teaching resources age appropriate, inclusive and relevant?
