Supporting high-quality teaching for pupils with SEND | EEF
The EEF's "Five-a-day" approach focuses on five core practices to support high-quality teaching for all pupils, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
These practices are:
- Explicit instruction: Clear, direct teaching of concepts and skills.
- Scaffolding: Providing temporary support to help students achieve tasks they cannot complete independently.
- Flexible grouping: Using different groupings of students for different activities.
- Cognitive and metacognitive strategies: Teaching students to think about their own learning.
- Using technology: Leveraging digital tools to enhance learning.
You can use ONVU Learning with this approach by using it to:
- Model explicit instruction: Teachers can record and review their lessons to ensure they are providing clear and direct instruction.
- Analyse scaffolding techniques: By watching their own teaching, educators can identify opportunities to better support students.
- Reflect on grouping strategies: Teachers can observe how different groupings work in practice and make adjustments.
- Enhance cognitive strategies: Reviewing classroom interactions can help teachers develop and refine strategies to promote metacognitive skills.
- Integrate technology effectively: ONVU Learning itself is a technological tool that can be used to support the EEF's recommendations.
By combining ONVU Learning's video analysis capabilities with the EEF's evidence-based practices, you can continuously improve your teaching methods to better support all students and particularly those with SEND.
