Pupils with special needs

Pupils with special needs in mainstream classroom

Relevance:

Handling diversity successfully in every day practice, giving individual treatment for those, who need it, differentiation is one of the biggest challenges in our professional life as teachers. Pupils with special needs or disadvantage (background are special, they) need specific treatments and approaches.  The question is, how we can meet with these needs in our mainstream (classroom) curriculum, how we can adapt the teaching methods and environment for the successful inclusion.

Target group:

Every teacher agrees with the theory of inclusive education, and with the right of pupils with special needs attending the local mainstream schools. But the everyday practice is often full of doubt, difficulties and feeling of incompetence. We often feel that we are not prepared for this work.  This course has been created for teachers who want to face their feelings of uncertainty, and want to learn new methods and practical catches to make sure the success of every student, including pupils with special needs.

Topic:

  • During the course we will be searching for the answers to the following questions:
  • What does special educational need mean?
  • What is a child with special needs like? Strength and weaknesses. How to help them improve?
  • What are the steps of the diagnostical process?
  • What kind of documents can the pedagogical work be based on?
  • How can we adapt the curriculum regarding the individual needs of children with special needs?
  • What are the good practises, types of exercises? How to cooperate with parents?

Learning outcomes:

By the end of the course, participants will have gained greater insight into the field of education of pupils with needs. The organizers provide not only theoretical knowledge by giving numerous examples of professional literature and websites, but also practical methodological issues. The participants will acquire the knowledge by recognizing the special educational needs, applying special educational methods that they can use in their own lessons, such as adaptation of learning materials, barrier – free tools, and encouraging cooperation among students. They learn how they can get help from other experts and what the optimal helping forms in the classroom can be. By the end of the course you will feel competent in supporting your students with special needs.
