Opis

In a more settled period of curriculum development, teachers of children with learning difficulties are looking for guidance on the new National Curriculum, the context of the whole curriculum and issues surrounding its delivery. This work shows how to access to much of the content of the new Programmes of Study for each subject can be provided for pupils with moderate to profound learning difficulties. It also raises debates and illustrates effective teaching ideas, and examines strategies for providing a high quality education for these pupils and a celebration of their achievements. It then discusses the active involvement of parents and pupils in these processes.
