Wonderful to hear that this session has given you a broader understanding of the various models of co-teaching. The co-teaching planning document is an excellent way of ensuring clarity of roles and responsibilities.

Shelley Moore’s comparison of a mixed ability class to bowling pins is such an excellent way of understanding the importance of knowing each student to ensure no one is left standing looking back at us.

I also find the podcasts very useful, you could be listening to them when driving. Shelley Moore’s podcasts ‘5 Moore minutes’ are very informative from an international perspective while Joanne Banks ‘Inclusion Dialogue’ is excellent from an Irish perspective.

Using the various types of co-teaching is extremely effective in meeting need within the class. It is inclusive and ensures all pupils are supported to reach their full potential. Best practice is to use a range of co-teaching methods- there is no one size fits all approach.

I love the idea of past pupils coming back in to their primary school. This will help alleviate any concerns that our pupils may have.

Yes, transition from primary to post-primary is a massive step for our pupils. We need to ensure that there is clear communication between schools to ensure that the new school can put the appropriate supports in place to meet the child’s needs.

Yes, it is imperative that parents are involved so that they can support their child during the transition period. They are key stakeholders so need to be included at every step.

Many thanks for your reflection. Wonderful to hear that the resources on transition from primary to post-primary are worthwhile. As you have highlighted it is momentous time in these pupil’s lives. They are leaving their primary school of eight years and facing the unknown.

Absolutely, the child’s SNA will have such a wealth of information to share on the childs’ strengths, needs and interests. It is pertinent that they are involved in the plan for transition. The Personal Pupil Plan will be of great support also.

Many thanks for sharing what you have found beneficial. The Anna Freud website has a wide range of resources to support transition from primary to post-primary. It is a big step for our pupils so it is vital that the transition early on to avoid anxiety for pupil and their parents/guardians.

I love the idea of the five finger summary. Using a strategy such as this will be of great support to the pupil in their post-primary school also. The use of checklists are a great scaffold to support pupils with organisation.
