In special schools, most or all of the pupils have statements of SEN. This means
that every child will have individual targets, arising from the statement.
It is the class teacher's responsibility to ensure that these targets are addressed
in everyday teaching and learning, to monitor progress and to note when they have
been achieved.
These targets are sometimes referred to as being in a child's Individual Education
Plan (IEP).
Targets arising from a child's statement will often be additional to their curriculum
targets, being concerned with, for example, communication, behaviour or motor control.
These targets need to be incorporated into everyday planning as well as reporting
and recording systems.
Look at these examples of Jane's half-termly targets and her review summary.
Which professionals do you think contributed to Jane's targets? How can you tell
their advice has been incorporated into Jane's planning?
Note how the individual targets arising from Jane's statement have been incorporated
with other targets.
