Get ready to dive into a world of fun and innovative strategies that will transform your teaching approach!

Unlock the potential of multi-sensory learning to support children and young people (CYP) with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This approach engages multiple senses—sight, sound, movement, and touch—to create a more inclusive and effective learning environment.

Colourful Semantics: Empower students to construct sentences with ease using colour-coded cues that highlight different parts of speech. This method not only enhances their understanding of sentence structure but also boosts their confidence in communication.

Blank Levels: Tailor your questions and interactions based on the cognitive stages of your students.
Understanding Blank levels allows you to ask questions that are appropriately challenging, fostering better comprehension and engagement.

Visual Aids: Utilise visual tools to support task completion and maintain student engagement. Visual aids help clarify instructions and make abstract concepts more concrete, aiding in better understanding.

Task Management Boards: Organise and streamline classroom activities with task management boards. These boards provide a clear visual representation of tasks, helping students stay on track and manage their time effectively.

Join us to explore these innovative strategies and transform your teaching approach. By integrating these techniques, you can create a more engaging and supportive learning environment for CYP with SEND.
