Expectations for all schools/settings
All CYP have the opportunity to work in different ways.
What this may include/ look like
- Plan teaching to enable individual and small group work and include opportunities for:
- Flexible groupings - CYP are allocated to groups flexibly based on the individual needs that they currently share with other CYP. Groups are formed for an explicit purpose and disbanded when that purpose is met. E.g. a small group of CYP share the need for more explicit instruction to independently perform a skill, remember a fact, or understand a concept.
- Mixed ability grouping to enable role-modelling/learning through teaching others
- Flexible group sizes - large, small or pairs as required to facilitate successful interaction
- Group working is used foster collaborative learning and the opportunity to work alongside a different range of adults and pupils on a regular basis.
- Use groupings, seating arrangements and additional support to promote independent learning as far as possible.
- Encourage and value CYP voice when planning groupings or interventions.
