Description
In our report recommendations, our goal is to give everything we possibly can to enable the child to succeed. But how can we ensure our recommendations remain accessible and useful?
We'll begin this course by exploring core principles for writing effective recommendations, focusing on how to integrate what we've learned about the child, their educational setting, and their home environment. We'll discuss the balance between ideal goals and practical solutions, weighing quick wins against long-term strategies. Streamlining and simplifying recommendations to enhance usability will also be part of our conversation.
We'll consider how to give actionable advice for classroom strategies, including methods for delivering information, fostering metacognition, integrating assistive technology, and implementing reasonable adjustments. We'll examine specific guidance on supporting reading and writing skills, tailored to the unique needs of each child within their school context.
This session will not focus on specialist tutoring, but we’ll review school-based interventions, assessing various approaches, understanding their pros and cons, and identifying criteria to select the best fit for individual needs.
