Module: Communicating (Novice)

(Refer to NOF Training Manual - Teaching Strategies)

 

The method of carrying out the task was conventional and proved to be effective.
By finely grading the task continuity and progression were achieved.
The nature of S.E.N pupils is such that reinforcement work will be needed. The work cards made to support the pupil worked well. They re-inforced the skills that the pupil needed to use and enabled the pupil to feel independent and successful. They reduced the need of the pupil to ask the teacher for help.

Pupils (dependent on individual abilities) did acquire the expected skills both in the subject areas supported and I.C.T.

The software presented the selected subject areas in an interesting and stimulating manner. The outcome was a series of posters designed and produced for specific purposes by the pupil.
Evidence from the various stages of this task was collected and assessed.

The pupil gained many skills from this series of tasks. It has developed confidence in the child, giving him the opportunity to experiment with ideas and enjoyment. The threat of "pen and paper", which is often felt by a special needs child, was not there.
