The course can be accessed via the SchoolPro course pages HERE.
 
Staff can sign up individually, but there is also a Group Licence option so schools can ‘purchase’ (for free) access for all staff.

The Whole School SEND Teacher Handbook brings together practical examples of high quality teaching - placing focus on removing barriers to learning, getting to know and understand individual learners, and bringing to life the graduated approach.
 
Each of the six sections - which are intended to be used as required rather than read in sequence - offer a wealth of ideas and information about the following key areas:

• Understanding your role
• Knowledge of the Learner
• Creating an inclusive environment
• Planning inclusive lessons
• Subject-specific guidance
• Graduated approach
• Strategies to scaffold learning
• Teacher wellbeing

 
It is intended to be used by all teachers (not just SENDCOs).
