As a SENCo I found this particually useful to map out the provision we offer our pupils at my current school.
The web is broken into 6 sections of learning:
Individualised Support
Indentification of needs
Quality First Teaching
Extra Curricular Provision
Interventions
Communication
The provision we the provide is colour coded. This is great for parents and visitors to our website to get a clear overview of provision.
This has been created on PowerPoint and is therefore editable.
As an experienced teaching SENCo I found that staff would rely heavily on my expertise before identifying the children’s need or supporting them in the classroom first.
This took up a lot of my time so I created a 7 step referral process for staff to reevaluate how they approached seeking support for those pupils with SEN.
Step 1: Initial Observation forms for staff to complete independently
Step 2: Referral to SENCo form for staff to show observations and note concerns
Step 3: SENCo 5 minute observation Form
Step 4: Observation Follow Up meeting
Step 5: Evaluating need. This is an excel sheet with lots of external links to free programmes and resources that can be used as internal support an intervention when external referrals are not necessary
Step 6: Graduated Approach and SEN Review Form
Step 7: Gathering Evidence for external referrals
Step7a: Parental View form
