Raising attainment – Creating a SLCN friendly classroom environment

Led by an expert in this field, this programme, delivered over two days will support you to raise attainment and create a classroom environment that will support pupils with Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN). An intersessional task will be set between the two days to support you back in the classroom.

Cost of full programme – £195

The DfE SEND statistics (Jan 22) confirmed the following with speech, language, communication needs (SLCN) being the most common primary type of need, at 22% of SEN pupils. In total over 260,000 pupils in England have SLCN as their primary type of SEN, over 1.4 million pupils in England have a long term SLCN that they will not grow out of.

SLCN is both an umbrella term supporting co-occurring conditions or a primary need. This is now being highlighted more, both because of COVID and due to more investment in supporting SLCN conditions. An example being DLD (Developmental Language Delay) which effects 2 in every 30 children in the classroom (Speech and Language UK).

This course compliments all areas. It will give participants:

• theory behind how language develops
• how to support students in the classroom
• scaffolding techniques to support SLCN students
• practical strategies that they can takeaway to develop in their own settings

Aimed at classroom teachers (including ECTs), SENCOs and middle leaders.
