Earlier this year I attended the AIS NSW Becoming a Highly Accomplished Teacher PL two day course, one of the segments focused on the Descriptors 1.6, 3.2 and 4.1 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
-
1.6 Strategies to support full participation of students with disability
-
3.2 Plan, structure and sequence learning programs (that engage all students)
-
4.1 Support student participation
Key documents were referred to as well as general information on how best to cater for students with disabilities. A summary of the session can be found in the Special Education Needs presentation that was shared with teaching staff at school.
Key documents included:
Legislative guidance: Australian Government Disability Standards for Education 2005
Practical ideas for planning and programming: NSW Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum – Supporting Students with Special Needs Education
