Mainly English GCSE resources, however I have also worked within a Special Needs department as a Support Assistant and then a teacher so I have included some resources for this area also. I hope you find them useful, feel free to adapt and use as you wish.

A training booklet describing many strategies for the most common additional learning needs I have come across in schools and FE colleges, including Autism, behavioural issues, hearing/visual impairments, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, handwriting difficulties and language needs. Each difficulty has at least 15-20 different strategies that I have found most useful in supporting my learners with additional needs.
Please note that these are not a one size fits all approach, and what works perfectly for one student may crash and burn for another! Like with most things in teaching, it is a trial and error process. However I have found these to be the most successful strategies for me so far.
A powerpoint containing 28 activities that can be used as starters, plenaries or extended as a bigger classroom activity or even a mini project. Most can also be used as ways of assessing understanding and providing evidence of learning (ideal for inspections!).
A pack of resources for managing challenging behaviour in the classroom. The aim is to provide a record of evidence to present to the student/parents, and to make the student reflect on their behaviour and its effects/consequences on themselves and their peers.
