The following document was the outcome of some development worker focus, within the West Midlands, alongside Skills for Life improvement activities.

It is being circulated, for interest, to give a wider opportunity for the ideas to be used where appropriate.

Without detracting from any need for some learners to have specific assessments and specific support (e.g. around dyslexia, dyscalculia etc) the question was posed ‘What is the menu of things that every teacher can draw on, in every lesson, in order to give better broad underlying support to most learners through good teaching and learning practices?’ This document pulls together the results of the development worker activity in response to that challenge.

Any observations and comments can be sent to office@coreskills.co.uk
