English Learning Continuum Content

Interacts with a communication partner (attends and focuses)

Looks at a visual schedule

 Stays with the group with support

Interacts with a communication partner (attends and focuses)

Work closely with a student during an art or craft session. If the student cannot work at a table or desk, take the activity to the student on a stable table or a tray attached to their wheelchair. Use the most appropriate level of support to engage the student in the activity and encourage interaction by attributing meaning to any vocalisation, change in facial expression or body movement by saying, “Great work, SN. We are making a great picture, aren’t we?”

 

 

Stays with the group with support

Develop specific lessons and social stories with visuals including photos of the class group and PCS about staying with the group. Lead the class as a group on regular walks around the school with a support person ensuring that all students walk with the group. This includes using physical assistance to reposition and redirect students as required. Stop after a short distance has been travelled, or at a gate or natural stopping point and ensure that all students are together. Start again when all students are together and the gate is open. When a particular destination is reached, reward individuals by lollies, stickers or preferred items. Gradually increase the distance travelled before stopping or the rewards are given.

 

 

Key Assessment Points

 

 

  • The level of prompting required for the student to complete a task should always be recorded.
  • Observation could occur throughout the school day in a variety of activities or during a structured assessment task. This could be captured on video or in photos and recorded in skill checklists/rubrics for analysis.
