Understanding SEN Interventions

SEN interventions are essential for supporting students with special educational needs, and recognizing their importance is key to effective teaching. Educators must actively engage with documentation such as Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and correlate them with practical classroom strategies. To truly embed these interventions, it's crucial to develop a comprehensive understanding of each student's unique challenges and strengths. This creates a foundation where interventions are not just theoretical but practically beneficial, impacting students' daily learning experiences.
