Review
At this stage the effectiveness of support and interventions implemented as wll as the impact it has on the student must be reviewed. The Homeroom Teacher and/or Subject Teacher should be working together with SENCO should revise the support in light of the pupils progress and development. Make much needed changes to support and the outcomes in the consultations with the student and parent.
Reclassification and/or Discontinuation from SEN
A discharge report will be written based on professional evaluations and observations of the students ability as the teachers improved ability to provide for the students special needs. There should be sufficient improvement and outcomes set on the IEP or IBP must be achieved.
Should the student develope new needs then he or she can continue on another plan. However, should the student no longer require additional SEN level suppport then their name will be removed from the SEN register. Both teacher and parents will be formally notified of this change.
Planning
Teachers and Senco should agree in consultation with parents about the adjustments, interventions and support that will be put into action together with the expected impact on the students progress, development and behavior. A clear date or review must be reached and both parties must have consensus.
Take Action
The homeroom or subject teacher should remain responsible for working with the student on a daily basis. Where there are interventions involved with group or indivudal teaching that takes place outside of the classroom or away from subject teacher then they should still retain that responsibility.
SENCO will provide support to the homeroom or subject teacher in further assessments of the students strenghts and weaknessess, problem-solving as well as providing valuable advise on the best way to implement support.
