This Wave 1 Strategy Tracker is to support your children who display SEND needs. It needs to be updated by the teacher to see what works for each child with an additional need. This tracker can be used to support teachers in using strategies for a range of needs, including: ASD, dyslexia, ADD and ADHD.

As a supporting document, I have also attached a plan, do, review template to track each intervention that has been put into place.

Schools, alongside parents, have a vital role in preparing children and young people to negotiate the challenges and opportunities of an increasingly complex world. Personal Development deals with real-life issues affecting our children, families and communities. It relates to the social, health and economic realities of their lives, experiences and attitudes including relationships. It supports students to be healthy (mentally and physically), safe (on and off line) and equip them to thrive in their relationships and careers. Therefore, it essential that you map out the Personal Development curriculum so that it can provide all children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse community. Children should be encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community. The Personal Development Curriculum is integral to the development of children’s values in order for them to become positive citizens in an ever-changing community. This Personal Development Plan is broken down into categories across each term, including British Values, Curriculum and Resources and Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development (SMSC), so that you can assess the quality of the provision your setting provides. This resource is useful for teachers and senior leaders. This may also be a good tool to use with a link governor or the wider governing body. This plan covers all aspects of personal development as outlined in the Ofsted Education Inspection Framework (EIF). This fully editable word document enables you to represent your setting most effectively.

Have you or your staff ever wondered what makes a good piece of art work? Have you ever found it difficult to assess a child’s art pieces? Michelle Gaugy sums it up pretty nicely by saying: Every work of art has two primary elements: technical skill and creative imagination, which can be thought of as graph lines that meet somewhere. Generally, we say that an artwork is “better” - the higher the meeting point is of these two elements for a particular work, that is, maximum imaginative skill combined with maximum technical skill gives the best art…mostly. So on that note… here is some free guidance on how to support you and your staff in having the confidence to assess children’s art! Reviews are welcomed.
