Zones of Regulation - how is it used in your setting?

[Re:SEND @ReSendNE]

An excellent and thought provoking thread on Pupil Premium Strategy. How is PP best used in Specialist settings where learning is already highly individualised? #SEND @EducEndowFoundn

[Thomas Martell @Martell_Tom]

The Pupil Premium - a thread.

Here are some insights based on our experiences at @ShottonResearch using the @EducEndowFoundn's ideas to help 100s of schools develop their strategies.

"Does anyone have a curriculum policy they can share?"

a DHT recently asked the We Are In Beta community

So we did a some research.

What we found was fascinating.

RT this and I'll send you a link to the findings.

[Re:SEND @ReSendNE]

How might this further disadvantage a child with with additional communication needs? What do Specialist nurseries and EYFS need to do to support these children?

[Jean Gross @JeanGrossCBE]

Babies born in lockdown period less likely at 12 months to use single words, point or wave bye bye than previous cohorts. What are we doing DfE about the implications for very early 'catch up? 'https://t.co/vsHNtd2ip7

[Re:SEND @ReSendNE]

It’s great to see other schools embracing inquiry based CPD. We believe this is a transformational model for specialist settings too. @MrsBallAP @researchEDDur

[Michelle O’Reilly @PabloPerdito]

Loving @researchEDDur today. Fantastic presentation from @MrsBallAP about inquiry based CPD. Grabbed some brilliant gems to enhance our CPD journey ☺️

@SpcialNdsJungle Provision and development in specialist sector. More research into practice. More expectation of cpd for ALL through hubs.

This looks like a fascinating study!

" Classrooms are just too complicated for research ever to tell teachers exactly what to do. Teachers need to know about research, so that they can make smarter decisions about where to invest their time, but teachers & school leaders need to become critical..." @dylanwiliam 1/2

[Re:SEND @ReSendNE]

@LizLawr77719223 It has to go hand in hand with reading, so we explicitly teach targeted symbols/whole words and make sure chn have lots of practice. We convert reading books into CinP and literacy activities are built around chn matching, reading, selecting their target words/symbols

[Re:SEND @ReSendNE]

@LizLawr77719223 If it’s a fine motor difficulty, the Speed Up programme is very helpful - designed by OTs and features lots of practical exercises.
If it’s language, then Colourful Semantics is brilliant at helping chn build sentences.

[Re:SEND @ReSendNE]

@LizLawr77719223 Yes CinP. We’ve been trialling using it with a growing cohort for whom phonics just isn’t working. It is showing very promising results so far. We teach key words with their corresponding symbol, so initially chn do rely on the symbol, but, over time, they don’t need it anymore.
