The programme will focus on exploring the evidence underpinning the recommendations within the EEF guidance report ‘Supporting SEND pupils in the mainstream classroom’ with a particular focus on the 5 High Quality teaching strategies:  

• explicit instruction 
• metacognition 

• scaffolding 
• flexible grouping  
• the use of technology 

Teaching Assistants will be supported to develop a repertoire of these strategies that can be used flexibly in response to individual needs.  

The programme design will include opportunities to build knowledge, motivate, develop techniques and embed practice, incorporating a range of EEF design mechanisms. 

Specific programme modules will support schools to: 

• Create a positive and supportive environment for all pupils, without exception 
• Build an ongoing, holistic understanding of pupils and their needs 
• Ensure all pupils have access to high quality support 

• Complement high quality teaching with carefully selected small-group and one-to-one interventions 
• Work effectively with teaching  

Each programme delivery day will involve a ‘theory into practice’ session using practical examples, and case studies to exemplify the evidence.
