How can physical and/or medical needs be supported by Quality First Teaching?

Teachers to consider the following:   

• Are recommendations from specialist support services being used to develop effective curriculum delivery for the young person? 
• Is the attention of the young person gained before speaking ? 
• Is positioning considered when talking to the young person (e.g. facing the young person)?   
• Is content on the board read aloud (don’t speak and write)?   
• Are shorter, rather than longer sentences used, as appropriate to the young person?   
• Is more time to complete tasks incorporated into curriculum planning, as appropriate to the young person? 
• Are learning resources that are in an accessible font size, as appropriate to the young person? 
• Is teaching delivered through distributed practice (little and often) and interleaved learning (mixing old and new learning)? 
• Are young people are given opportunities to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways, such as:   
  • The use of alternative methods of recording?  
  • The use of appropriate ICT (Clicker; Dragon)? 
• Do teaching assistants deliver structured evidence-based interventions? 
• Are teaching resources are age appropriate, inclusive and relevant?
