Support Entitlements
16
Meeting the needs of HI pupils in schools 5 Quality Indicators Learners’ experiences Improvements in performance Meeting Learning Needs Curriculum Improvement through self evaluation
17
Quality Indicators- Evaluations Excellent- Sector leading, exemplifies very best practice Very good- major strengths, very few areas for improvement Good- important strengths which outweigh areas for improvement Satisfactory- strengths just outweigh weaknesses, basic level of provision Weak- some strengths, important weaknesses Unsatisfactory- major weaknesses, immediate remedial action
18
Meeting Learning Needs What does good practice look like? Tasks, activities and resources are very well matched to the needs of individuals or groups The needs of learners are identified, reviewed and evaluated regularly Roles of teachers and specialist staff provide valuable support IEP S, CSPs contain appropriate targets and involve children, young people and their families
19
Learners’ Experiences What does good practice look like? Learners are motivated and eager participants in their learning. High quality feedback makes them aware of their progress and strengths as learners Learners have made very good progress from prior levels of attainment Learners feel safe, nurtured, healthy, achieving, active, included, respected and responsible
20
Good practice Young people from the HI Department are included in almost all mainstream classes and within these classes are fully included in all aspects of learning and teaching. Young people who use BSL are supported by appropriately trained teachers. The use of the Soundfield System in all departments ensures that the teacher’s voice is clearly amplified, providing HI young people with the optimum environment for learning in a mainstream setting.
21
Good Practice almost all young people feel that the school is helping them to become more confident, that they are getting on well with their school work, that staff encourage them to do the best they can, that they get help when they need it; and that staff pay attention to what they say. Almost all felt they enjoyed learning at school, that staff treat them fairly and with respect, that they feel safe and cared for, and that there are adults in the school they can speak to if they are upset or worried about something
22
Reflective Questions How well do I ensure children and young people are fully involved in their learning? How often do pupils have meaningful opportunities to talk about their learning with staff? How do I ensure learners access high quality and targeted support? Are teaching and learning approaches effective in delivering meaningful experiences for pupils?

Conference for deaf young people

Challenges ?
25
Conference for Deaf Young People Never feel alone because there is support if you need it Teachers need to be more deaf aware Sometimes they mock us for using sign language Technology- teacher doesn’t use it consistently/ teacher cant use equipment
26
The Conference I got to meet others who faced the same difficulties as me Makes me more confident for the future It motivated me and I'm not by myself being deaf Good to meet new people, and learn different ways that other deaf pupils learn I thought of more ways for people to help me
