This session will help children access what’s being taught, respond successfully to questions, and engage with learning at every stage.
Many children struggle to understand spoken language in the classroom - and without the right support, this can affect their learning, participation, confidence, and wellbeing. As educators, you play a crucial role in helping all children access what’s being taught, respond successfully to questions, and engage with learning at every stage. This session will introduce you to a range of strategies for scaffolding children’s understanding in whole-class teaching, small groups, and one-to-one interactions.
At this session you will:
- Learn about the impact of speech and language challenges – including how struggling to understand language can affect children’s behaviour, learning, and wellbeing.
- Explore whole-class, group and individual strategies for scaffolding children’s understanding – therefore supporting their learning, participation and wellbeing.
- Be introduced to approaches such as Blank’s Levels of Questioning and Colourful Semantics, and consider how they could be applied practically in the classroom.
Suitable for: teachers, SENDCos, classroom facing support staff, and anyone looking to strengthen inclusive practice and improve access to learning for all children.
