School based teacher development programme (sbtd) introduction

UNIT 19: SUPPORTIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGIES IN ENGLISH
 
This Unit builds on earlier Units, which explored the nature of interactive learning. It explores three broad approaches to 
differentiating teaching and learning and seeks to develop the skills and abilities needed to use these approaches appropriately 
to support students with diverse learning needs within the English classroom. These approaches aim to promote a learning 
environment in which all students are able to access the English curriculum and achieve their full potential. While this 
includes students who face particular learning barriers and individuals who have special gifts 
and talents, the Unit acknowledges that all students have different needs and that every class is a mixed-ability grouping. 
UNIT 20: PLANNING FOR INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN ENGLISH
 
This Unit explores the factors that should be taken into account when planning English lessons aimed at addressing the varied 
needs of all students. It considers some of the ways in which English teachers can cater for the specific needs of individual 
learners

UNIT 21: STRATEGIES FOR ENGAGING AND WORKING WITH PARENTS IN THE 
LEARNING PROCESS
 
Working with parents is increasingly seen as crucial in helping students achieve more. This Unit, through a range of activities 
focusing on the English classroom, aims to develop your knowledge and understanding of the importance of parents/carers’ 
engagement and involvement in the schooling of their children. It examines some of the barriers that teachers and schools 
may face when engaging parents/carers in education and provides examples from English classrooms showing ways that may 
help overcome these.
