Theory & Practice

Starting a role in SET may seem overwhelming, but with the right information and a collaborative approach, you can create a positive and impactful learning environment for those in your care.

Timetabling in special education requires thoughtful planning and continuous collaboration with class teachers. The goal is to integrate support seamlessly into the overall educational experience, ensuring children receive a well-rounded and inclusive education.

To effectively support children with special educational needs, SET teachers must understand the various levels of support available and how to implement them.

As a busy teacher, the prospect of diving into lengthy professional reports can feel overwhelming, however, these documents are packed with actionable insights.

After gathering all necessary information from previous teachers, arranging support time, reading relevant reports, and assessing last year's targets, it's time to prepare the new support plan for the coming year. This crucial step involves a structured approach to ensure each student's needs are met effectively.

Creating a Classroom Support Plan (CSP) is a collaborative effort between the Special Education Teacher (SET) and the classroom teachers to ensure that each pupil's unique needs are met. Here we outline the steps involved in developing an effective CSP, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and detailed planning.

Building on the foundation of a Classroom Support Plan, the next steps in providing comprehensive support to pupils with special educational needs involve creating a School Support Plan (SSP) or a School Support Plus (SSP+) Plan.
