Recognise and interpret national priorities for primary education in the context of SEND and relevant codes of practice and safeguarding procedures;
Assess contextual examples of evidence to demonstrate how pupils with identified needs learn and develop intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally;
Analyse a range of factors that can inhibit pupils' ability to learn and identify factors which enable children to make progress;
Recognise approaches which facilitate learning for all children.

Content:

This module will consolidate and further develop knowledge acquired in Level 4, in relation to teaching pupils with a variety of needs and inclusion. Throughout the module students will be required to consider the educational needs of pupils with Special Education Needs, English as a second Language and Gifted and Talented, etc. within the wider context of teaching all pupils effectively.

- Early identification of needs and methods of monitoring and assessing progress of pupils

The design of this module is co-constructed with school partners, particularly those in Special Provision. This includes some direct delivery from partner professionals working in this field.
