Key stage 3 national strategy: maximising progress: ensuring the attainment of pupils with SEN
One of the major barriers to achievement for pupils with SEN or a disability is being rendered dependent on adults to help them learn. Many pupils with cognitive and learning difficulties lack self-confidence. This results in an over-reliance on an adult to support them with their work. SENCOs should be alert to this because there is a significant risk of ‘learned helplessness’.
These materials are intended to help SENCOs align their work with other teaching and learning initiatives from the Key Stage 3 Strategy. They aim to ensure that SENCOs are fully conversant with the Strategy’s approaches to learning and teaching as part of whole-school improvement.
The three booklets in this pack are designed to maximise the attainment of the growing number of pupils with special education needs and disability within mainstream secondary schools who are working within national expectations but currently under-attaining.
