303-1-4 Offer constructive suggestions for own role in supporting planned learning activities.

When working with children especially children who you support in class you will be given the opportunity to input your own ideas into the teachers planning, as you have your own areas of expertise or if you are a one-to-one you will have your own knowledge of the child you work with. When you work with children with special needs they will need more structure in the activities that they do every day and you will be aware of their strengths and weaknesses.

The child that I work with in school has a range of difficulties from social communication difficulties to a speech and language problem. Everyday is different because he is so interchangeable, one day he will sit and work with me and the next he will not want anything to do with me, sometimes this makes it hard as most of the work we do is structured around work given by various professionals who come into school to support him (speech and language, education psychologist, communication and interaction team and learning support). Because I work with him every day I can see what works with him and what doesn’t and just about daily I have to give feedback to her so that we can both plan the lessons for him for the next day. Here are a few examples of when I have offered constructive suggestions in supporting planned learning activities:-

I was sat with the teacher one morning before the children came into school because that is when we do our planning for the child I support or we modify anything that he has to be supported with in class. I noticed that the teacher had planned an arts and craft lesson that involved the use of tissue paper, the child that I support does not like the touch or feel of tissue paper (I had done an activity with him the other week which had resulted in him refusing to anything

    Firstly, when planning, delivering or reviewing any of the learning activities for the children with the teaching around you, it is important to take place during formal or informal opportunities and many planning opportunities should be in place to discuss children’s work and it is also to show how the pupils manage the work and to see how much the children get the work.

    1. Consider the range of emotions associated with being the parent of a child with special needs. Describe one of these emotional states and explain how as a teacher you would work with a parent experiencing that emotion. Anxiety is one emotion that a parent can feel about their child and their success in education when a disability is present, or possibly believed to be present. The first thing that I would do to help a family with this emotion is to open the lines of communication and listen to the family’s concerns, communicate how I would like to address these concerns moving forward, and then set up a parent-teacher conference for 6 weeks out (if a new student), or sooner if needed. Listening to the parent and respond in a way that…

    1.1 A Learning support practitioner may contribute by maybe planning a lesson or a set task within a set lesson that the teacher has planned, with the teachers permission. They might also put their ideas forward of what they might think might work within a lesson, or what the children might enjoy doing. With the delivery side a support practitioner might help the teacher deliver the lesson, so that the practitioner gets a bit of experience and builds their confidence up. Also the practitioner could bring in the materials that are needed for a certain task within the day or maybe for a certain day so that it’s not always the teachers that have to bring in materials. With the review of learning activities, it is always good to involve a learning support practitioner, because they can say what they think that worked well, and something that maybe they thought didn’t work too well, because the children weren’t really engaging in the work / task. It is also good because, if the learning support practitioner is watching another people, it would give them new ideas of how other teachers and teaching assistants do things, how they deal with situations and different ideas for teaching lessons.…

    It is important for practitioners to identify children’s care and learning needs in a setting, there are many reasons for this. Firstly, is to promote development. Some children develop and learn faster than others and it is partly our responsibility to ensure all children’s needs are cared for no matter what stage of development they are at. We can do this by carrying out observations; these help us to identify the exact learning needs of children. They can show us clearly what stage of development each individual child is at, we would compare each child against milestones for that age and stage of development and then we can begin to plan to meet the learning needs of certain children who are not meeting milestones and also plan to accommodate for those children who are over excelling the milestones. Children will develop better if there are adequate numbers of staff/adults present, taking into account the correct staff ratios for each particular age of children. With more hands on around the setting children will benefit greatly so it is important to plan how many adults/staff should be present for a particular day/activity, by doing so there is a higher chance of meeting all of the children’s needs. For example, in my placement I am in a Primary 1 class where there is a teacher and a classroom assistant. For this age range of children the extra support is extremely important as the children’s care and learning needs are higher than that of a Primary 7 child i.e. toileting, a Primary 1 child would need more assistance than that of a Primary 7 child. So if a teacher is caring for the needs of a child who has had a toileting accident it is important to have a classroom assistant so that the other children are supervised and their needs also met.…

    According to The Excellence Gateway (accessed 12/7/14) “initial assessment and diagnostic assessment is needed for each learner in order to find a starting point, or baseline for learning. It makes possible development of the learning plan”. Initial assessment and diagnostic tools can serve two purposes, firstly to assess potential students’ academic ability in relation to national standards. This will then dictate support required for targets and progression. Secondly initial and diagnostic assessments can be used for higher level qualifications where there are pre-requisites to ensure that the standard is up to the required level for that course. Organisations also need to ensure that they understand not only the student’s educational needs through in-depth diagnostic tests for literacy and numeracy skills levels but their social, emotional and behavioural needs as well through the initial assessments. In this way organisations can ensure that they understand how to support their students in their learning journey.…
