ABC

1. See the learner and not the label. The learner might be introvert, extrovert, creative, not creative, humorous, not humorous, musical, not musical, etc. Get to know the learner.

2. Encourage and use activities which develop empathy and understanding in your classroom at all times.

3. Create a learning contract where the inclusive ethos is clear.

4. Give opportunities for learners to present and practice language in different ways and in different senses.

5. Develop a peer mentoring or buddy system where learners help each other and share skills.

6. Think carefully about how you give instructions. Make them clear, concise, give them on a step-by-step basis. Give them in the order you want them done and very simply. Avoid sequencers.

7. Use positive classroom language. Say what you want learners to do, not what you don't want them to do.

8. Use visuals to reinforce rules and routines and put them on the board at the start of the lesson to show the order of the day.

9. Think about your learners needs and have a plan.

10. Don't be afraid to ask other people, the parents/carers, other professionals and above all, the learner. They still know what works.
