Quality First Teaching V2

All support for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) starts with good teaching. Good teaching means:

  • getting to know what each child needs
  • planning lessons carefully
  • believing that every child can learn and do well
  • showing and explaining tasks in a clear way
  • changing how we teach so everyone can join in
  • making lessons interesting and easy to understand

We call this Quality First Teaching. School and and early years settings can access local guidance on supporting children and young people with SEN and disabilities. This is called Universally Available Provision
