Assessment, identification and monitoring

Class/subject teachers should ensure that they:

• Use recent assessment information to gain a better understanding of individual children/young person’s speech and language skills and to identify whether it is a barrier to their learning in the classroom.
  
  
• Monitor the engagement in lessons and motivation of their class groups and plan appropriate interventions that can be delivered within class through the curriculum.
  
  
• Are aware of the targets/outcomes that the children with speech and language needs in their class are working towards.
  
  
• Children/young people are involved in the development and evaluation of language support strategies in class.
