A 'one-side-of-A4' guide, with a description of Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) and classroom strategies, designed for secondary school subject teachers of students with this kind of learning disability.

<p>This resource is for teachers in Special Schools delivering PE to complex needs pupils. Included is a unit outline, pupil outcomes, lesson plan and a record sheet for staff to use.</p> <p>The resource is aimed at developing the individual movement of complex needs pupils and their general physical literacy. Sessions are geared towards classes with high staffing where the teacher acts a facilitator to the learning taking place and helps to guide the staff working with individual pupils.</p>

<p><strong>Complete No-Prep lesson</strong> with <strong>exam questions, tasks and answers</strong> on Specific Heat Capacity for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. Rewritten and improved 16.05.22.</p> <p>Specific Heat Capacity is included in the exam specification in two separate places:</p> <ul> <li>Energy Topic (Physics 4.1.1.3 / Combined Science 6.1.1.3) where it is followed by a required practical.</li> <li>Particle Model of Matter Topic (Physics 4.3.2.2 / Combined Science 6.3.2.2)</li> </ul> <p>The exam spec points are virtually the same for each. I have written this lesson so that it can be taught in either place, however the required practical means it is likely to be taught in the energy topic.</p> <p>As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality <strong>no-prep</strong> lessons so busy teachers can teach <strong>outstanding lessons without spending hours planning.</strong> This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all <strong>with answers</strong>) and <strong>unique exam questions</strong>.</p> <p>My lessons are <strong>ideal for non-Physicists</strong> - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The <strong>preview video</strong> shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.</p> <p><strong>What’s Included:</strong><br /> • Starter / Do Now Activity with answers<br /> • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with <strong>animated diagrams</strong>.<br /> • Worked examples of calculations / questions.<br /> • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “<strong>learning check / quick questions</strong>” followed by a set of <strong>in-depth questions</strong> on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have <strong>answers</strong>.<br /> • <strong>Exam-style questions</strong> on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards.<br /> • <strong>Answers</strong> for all questions<br /> • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.</p> <p>.<br /> <strong>Learning objectives:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Describe the difference between thermal energy and temperature.</li> <li>Define specific heat capacity.</li> <li>Describe the factors that affect the amount of energy stored in or released from a system as its temperature changes.</li> <li>Explain how specific heat capacity can affect temperature changes and energy stored or released for different substances.</li> <li>Use the equation below to determine the temperature change, mass or specific heat capacity of an object, or the change in thermal energy.</li> <li>Change in thermal energy = Mass x Specific Heat Capacity x Temperature Change</li> </ul> <p>The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.<br /> Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!</p>

<p>This resources is aimed at pupils with high complex needs and trying to use PE as a means to engage them. This would be suitable for pupils with multiple learning difficulties such as sensory impairments, global learning delay and physical disabilities.</p> <p>This resource is a 6 week block of lessons that slowly add complexity to familiar tasks over the course of the unit. The unit uses Ball games as a means to help engage the pupils in their physical development.</p> <p>The resource also includes an outline of the unit that could be submitted as part of a medium term plan.</p>

This is a 4000 word assignment looking at the effectiveness of the Phonological Assessment Battery in assessing SpLD difficulties. Lots of useful research on SpLd difficulties.

A step-by-step guide in the form of a question and answer checklist helping you to identify problems and suggesting a range of practical technology focused solutions to support pupils with writing difficulties.<br /> <br /> The infograph is available as an A2 poster, and also as a PDF with clickable links that take you to sources of information on the internet.

The resource is designed and created in PowerPoint to help all professional bodies working with children. They can be used as a poster or within a presentation regarding SpLD. These mind maps can assist SENCO's, teachers, support staff etc within primary or secondary education as part of staff training or building awareness. <br /> <br /> There are four posters all together:<br /> Dysgraphia<br /> Dyslexia <br /> Dyscalculia<br /> Dyspraxia

<p>Fully editable word document to help support parents with a teenager with Executive Function difficulties.</p> <p>This can be adapted to include your own Schools Logo and address, and the colour scheme can also be changed to suit your own needs</p> <p>There are 16 Parent guides in the series, which can be purchased separately, or as a whole series for a discount.</p> <p>Each guide has a section with practical tips for parents, as well as a section signposting websites that have free resources, support and communities to widen the support available to parents.</p> <p>The guides are written for Teens, but could just as easily be used for parents of younger children.</p>

<p>The Aramazu method of learning to tell the time on an analogue clock was originally developed for primary school children. This collection of resources adapts the Aramazu approach to appeal to secondary school students. I have used this approach successfully to teach 16-18 year old students with dyslexia and dyscalculia how to tell the time.</p> <p>The resources included in this package are:</p> <p><strong>A Student Progress Tracker</strong><br /> I glue this in my student’s books. The tracker shows 8 levels that the students have to move up in order to reach the target. Students start at the bottom (level 1) and once each level is completed, we highlight it. The goal is to reach level 8.  The progress path is shown both in words and pictures so all my students can access the information.</p> <p><strong>An Illustrated Set of Notes</strong><br /> These can be used as a interactive teaching resource or as handouts for students.</p> <p><strong>Flash Cards / Match Pairs Cards</strong><br /> The Aramazu clocks can be used as flash cards or together with the word cards as a matching activity.</p> <p><strong>A Giant Aramazu Wall Clock</strong><br /> Perfect for kinaesthetic and visual learners, a printable giant Aramazu wall clock for students to practise showing the time on.</p> <p>I’ve also included a few worksheets and posters to support learning.</p> <p>The end goal is for students to be able to tell the time to 5 minute intervals on an Aramazu clock. Once students have mastered this, you can then use the ‘Goodbye Aramazu’ resource to support students with the transition to reading a ‘typical’ analogue clock:<br /> <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/learn-to-tell-the-time-goodbye-aramazu-12084255">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/learn-to-tell-the-time-goodbye-aramazu-12084255</a></p>

<p>This pack of 13 pages contains grids to support:</p> <p>Long multiplication for 2 by 2 digits<br /> Rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000<br /> Vertical number line<br /> 2 differentiated place value boards to aid multiplying and dividing by multiples of 10 and aligning sums correctly<br /> Bus stop division with remainder<br /> Bus stop division with decimal answers</p> <p>All boards except the vertical number line come with an instruction sheet to guide how to use the board.</p> <p>Please note that I have also provided a grid for long multiplication 2 digits by 1 digit, which is available as a free download to try out.</p> <p>I have developed these boards through my work with students with difficulties in maths including dyscalculia. I have found these structured guides support learning and allow processes to be understood. They aid students to learn using this scaffolding approach, which can be taken away when they feel more confident. These boards are ideal for laminating so they can be used repeatedly.</p>
