Look inside Belong: development areas
Each local authority can use their existing areas of need vocabulary (from ordinarily available provision or a SEND toolkit) to evolve the development areas. This example is from Calderdale.
Top level categories
Most local authorities have 2 top level categories, though the first one often has different names.
- Whole school universal, inclusive education, or whole school expectations
- Development areas (previously the 4 broad areas of need)
We're going to explore the cognition and learning branch.
Lower levels
Here cognition and learning is divided into
- Reading
- Writing
- Maths
- Executive functioning
You can already see that the reading category has 8 sub categories.
The final level: advice and resource lists
Once you reach the final level, teachers and SENCOs are shown
- Statements of effective teaching
- Resources to deliver these strategies
Resources can easily be kept up to date on an individual basis.
The resources
Each resource has its own page. Resources can be
- Links to websites
- PDF or Word documents
More information can be shown, for example
- How to use the resource
- Price
- Key stage
