Below are a series of tips for writing an Individual Education
Plan, which should enable the teaching of the child to be
matched to their learning style.
1 Identify what the child is finding it so
hard to learn. For example, is it learning a second language,
maths, new vocabulary in science etc. ?
2 Find out why is he or she having such problems.
For example, is it auditory short term memory, or phonological
processing?
3 Try to assess the way he learns. For example,
is a visual input better?
4 Try to identify how you can change the teaching
in order to make him learn more easily.
5 Always ask why you have chosen that approach,
and could there be a better way.
6 Identify the key components within the areas
of - Who will deliver it? How often? Where?
7 Set meaningful targets. Ensure all the activities
age and ability appropriate.
8 Constantly review, and identify why targets
are not being met, or if they are, ask if the pupil is being
stretched sufficiently.
9 Ask if there are viable alternatives, or
other aspects, such as stress or behavioural management, that
are not currently being covered.
10 Remember that only through a whole school
approach will the pupil have an opportunity to maximise their
potential. Ensure all teachers are informed of the difficulties,
and how they can best help the situation.
