Module Learning Strategies
Learners will consider differing needs and how these might be best supported. They will identify issues relating to special education needs/differentiation within their own practice. From this they will design/develop a resource which is suitable and appropriate for use in their practice.
Prior to use, this resource will be informally presented to class members and their tutor for ethical approval. The learner should also seek approval from education professionals that the learner works with.
Learners will then evaluate the impact that this resource has had on supporting learning and consider how it could be adjusted for differing contexts and/or educational needs. This evaluation will be supported by professional discussions with peers who work in different contexts/with different learners.
