Quality First Teaching

All support for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) starts with good teaching. Good teaching means:

• getting to know what each child needs
• planning lessons carefully
• believing that every child can learn and do well
• showing and explaining tasks in a clear way
• changing how we teach so everyone can join in
• making lessons interesting and easy to understand

We call this Quality First Teaching. 

To help school staff deliver this to students with SEN we have developed these guides:

• School Age (ages 5 to 16) Universally Available Provision
• Early Years (ages 0 to 5) Universally Available Provision
