PGCE Research Bites 10 - AfL in an Inclusive Classroom with Abby Dee and Sioned Dafydd

it's another Saturday research bite for you, and PGCE Primary student teacher Abby Dee is in conversation with Sioned Dafydd about her work, which considers AfL strategies for inclusion. Abby is particularly interested in working with pupils with ASD and other additional learning needs, and indeed she has undertaken her second PGCE placement in a special school.

In this conversation Abby explains what she found out, and the strategies she was able to identify for her own practice.

You can also watch this conversation at the Professional Learning with the Cardiff Partnership YouTube channel.

Abby's infographic is available for download here.
