The course will examine the following:
- The reasons pupils fall behind age-related expectations and practical strategies for addressing these.
- The importance of high quality ordinarily available provision/the universal offer in establishing inclusive classroom practice.
- Generic scaffolds which can support all learners and, potentially, reduce teacher workload.
- How cognitive science research can support us when planning for high quality teaching and learning for all learners.
- Practical strategies for scaffolding learning for pupils with SEND.
- Practical strategies for closing gaps in learning.

Great Teaching courses are powered by the latest evidence based research, giving schools the tools to ignite, strengthen, and sustain outstanding teaching and learning.

Many teachers face the challenge of teaching children with a wide range of learning needs in a mainstream classroom.

This course will examine the foundations which need to be established to support successful learning for all children, including those falling behind age related expectations. It will give a range of practical strategies and approaches to support efficient and effective assessment, planning and teaching. It will also draw on the findings of the EEF report 'Special Educational Needs in Mainstream Schools'.

This course will run over two sessions to prevent cognitive overload and to allow for gap tasks.
