Adjust Scenario
Step 1: Conducting Diagnostic Testing
Teacher, Smith, notices that Sarah, a student in her class, is struggling significantly with reading comprehension. Concerned about Sarah’s progress, Smith collaborates with the Head of Wellbeing to arrange diagnostic testing. Specialists are brought in to conduct thorough assessments to determine the nature of Sarah’s difficulties and the appropriate supports needed.
Step 2: Reviewing Assessment Results
After the diagnostic testing, the Head of Wellbeing receives the results and shares them with Smith and Sarah’s parents. Together, they sit down to discuss the findings. It becomes clear that Sarah has a specific learning disability that impacts her reading abilities and requires specialised support.
Step 3: Drafting Individualised Plan
Smith, in response to Sarah’s needs, takes action to draft an Individualised Plan tailored to support her learning. Using the provided template, Smith completes each section meticulously, outlining Sarah’s profile, learning goals, necessary adjustments, modifications and testing supports.
Step 4: Collaboration and Implementation
With the proposed Individualised Plan ready, Smith shares it with the Head of Wellbeing for expert input. Subsequently, a meeting is convened with the Student Support Team, including Sarah’s parents. During the meeting, Smith discusses and finalises the plan, gathering input from all stakeholders and agreeing on a communication strategy.
