Adaptive Teaching: Meeting Complex Needs (for Primary NQT+1s)
Who is the programme for?
For teachers who have completed their NQT year and would like to further develop their awareness of Standard Five of the Early Career Framework – Adaptive Teaching with reference to those pupils with complex needs, including behavioural needs.

Outcomes
Delegates will increase their knowledge and understanding of the details of The Early Career Framework  Standard Five – Adaptive Teaching, and further develop their awareness of meeting the needs of all pupils, including those who need significant adaptations, or individualised curriculums. They will develop their ability to analyse individual pupils’ behaviour and needs effectively so that they are able to ensure all children make good progress. There will be opportunities for discussion exploring a range of special educational needs, and delegates will be able to share and develop strategies to enable them to adapt their teaching to ensure all pupils make progress.

The following will be explored during the session:
  • Adaptive teaching - what does it look like for children with more complex needs?
  • How do I develop independence and target support effectively?
  • How do I assess children who are not able to access common forms of assessment?
  • Developing effective formative assessment techniques and using these to inform practice.
  • Understanding barriers to learning, including analysing behaviours, and overcoming these.
  • Engaging and working with pupils, families and other professionals to effectively support children with more complex needs.

How will my school benefit?
