KNS Staff believe that a diverse learner is someone who: • Learns in different ways • Has different learning styles • Visual • Tactile • Audial • Has different • Strengths • Interests • Needs • Language • Someone who is not captured by ‘traditional ways’ of teaching • One size does not fit all

  8. What is an IEP? • A plan that shows how the classroom programme will be adapted to fit the child – using their strengths to enhance their learning abilities • A plan that brings together the child’s learning needs, aspirations, personality and cultural background • An outline of where the students are going and what their successes might look like • It is a living document – it is regularly updated to reflect the child’s changing development

  9. When does a child need an IEP? IEP’s are necessary when: • Additional teaching strategies are needed to address a student’s particular learning needs • The programme needs to be differentiated • Barriers to learning have been identified, requiring adaptations to regular teaching strategies • Times of transition require extra attentions to planning, teaching and learning
