The 6 week Cycle
Initial Visit
When your Inclusion Support Specialist (ISS) arrives they will complete an observation of the child (preferably in their regular classroom setting) for approximately 30 minutes.
Next, your ISS will attempt a 1-1 conversation/interaction with the child in order to gather the child’s view. If this is not appropriate this step may be removed.
Your ISS will then need to meet with the class teacher or member of staff who will be responsible for implementing the action plan. This meeting should last for approximately 20/30 minutes. During this time an action plan will be formulated, including agreed strategies and approaches, member of staff responsible and how these will be evidenced.
You will receive a copy of the Action Plan direct to your school SENCO via Anycomms. An appointment will then be made for a 6 week review visit.
Review Visit
The Inclusion Support Specialist will complete a short 10 minute observation of the child.
The ISS and Class Teacher/member of staff responsible will meet for approximately 30 minutes to evaluate the implemented strategies and the impact that these have had.
Next steps will then be discussed and agreed. These may include staff training, interventions or external agency support.
A copy of the finalised Action Plan and evaluation will be sent direct to the school SENCO via Anycomms.
