SEND

SENCos or members of SLT will collaborate with other schools through one full day session and 4 half day face-to-face  sessions to embed a graduated approach to supporting maths difficulties, including Dyscalculia, within their setting.

In between the sessions, gap tasks (1-2 hours each) will include identifying and assessing a pupil/pupils with maths difficulties; working with staff to support them and carrying out a learning walk. The training sessions will include input on:

• the maths curriculum, teaching for mastery and other approaches to maths teaching

• approaches to maths anxiety

• current research on Dyscalculia and maths difficulties

• SENCos and SLT will have a better understanding of the difficulties that pupils face and how to support them

• Participants will be more confident in their maths subject knowledge

• Participants will be able to evaluate how effectively pupils with SEN are being supported in their schools

• Pupils with identified maths difficulties will have more confidence in maths
