REQUEST A SAMPLE OR MORE INFORMATION
An essential guide for those working in schools and dealing daily with the complexity of Special Educational Needs. Too often, the Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) is seen as just a bureaucratic formality, stripped of its real purpose: to be a dynamic, practical and genuinely helpful tool to support each pupil along their learning journey.
With a clear, direct and hands-on approach, this book helps teachers reflect on what works and what risks turning the Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) into an empty document.
The volume also offers practical examples, intervention strategies, guidance on what to include (and what to avoid), common mistakes to steer clear of, and tips for creating an effective Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) focused on the pupil’s actual needs.
What to do and what to avoid
Each chapter includes a brief overview of a specific problematic behavior, indications on the intervention (how to intervene), suggestions and insights (advice of the expert and in-depth analysis). The teacher will be guided towards understanding the situations described through emotional, cognitive and behavioural reading.
