The percentage of pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN) support has been increasing in recent years, with 12.2% of children in England accessing SEN provision in 2021. In light of this growing need, it is vital that education professionals in all education settings understand how to support children with SEND to achieve their best possible outcomes. This is a statutory duty under the 2015 SEND Code of Practice.
This Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in the Classroom course will teach you what you need to know to ensure you are fulfilling your legal responsibilities and following the Graduated Approach to SEND (assess, plan, do, review). It also discusses best practice for supporting children in each of the four areas of need, and what Universal Provision (including high-quality teaching) should look like. The course was written in collaboration with SEND expert, Dr Anita Devi, who is a former SENCo, senior leader, school improvement adviser, and local authority SEND advisory teacher.
This course has been developed to utilise animation, instructional video, and user activities to maximise engagement and learning.
