This adaptability is coupled with the vast EDClass library of over 7000 lessons in 900 pathways and our teachers’ live teaching and curriculum support.

Additional Teachers to Support Your Internal Alternative Provision

Engaging learning through live support, differentiation and stretch and challenge

Within the Internal Alternative Provision, EDClass teachers excel at engaging learners through tailored live support and a commitment to differentiation and stretch and challenge. Utilising secure EDTeach classroom facilities, they harness the power of camera sharing for direct, individualised interaction.

Camera Sharing or audio communication for Individualised Attention

This live visual connection allows teachers to gauge understanding in the moment and dynamically adjust their approach, ensuring each student is appropriately supported and challenged. By employing visual aids and varied communication styles via the camera, they cater to diverse learning preferences.

Moreover, EDClass facilitates nuanced live support through audio communication, private chat for discreet guidance, and screen sharing with voice-over for personalised explanations.

This multi-faceted live interaction enables teachers to effectively differentiate instruction, address individual learning needs, and seamlessly weave in opportunities for stretch and challenge, fostering a dynamic and engaging learning journey for every Internal Alternative Provision student.

Differentiated Questioning, Collaborative Problem Solving, Adaptive Pacing and Support

Teachers can pose questions that vary in complexity based on individual student needs. Through direct interaction via camera, they can ask simpler recall questions to build confidence for struggling learners and pose more open-ended, analytical questions to stretch and challenge higher-achieving students.

Feedback

EDClass teachers offer flexible and personalised support within the Internal Alternative Provision, enabling them to provide immediate feedback, address individual queries privately, and deliver differentiated instruction by verbally explaining on-screen content tailored to specific student requirements.

EDClass Teachers provide immediate and targeted support by:

  • sharing a variety of resources on their screen
  • highlighting key information
  • demonstrating model answers/model thinking
  • annotating diagrams
  • using interactive whiteboards in real-time
  • posing different discussion questions to different students or groups of students
  • providing specific examples
  • working through problems step-by-step
  • adapting explanations based on the observed understanding of individual students

This allows the EDClass teachers to:

  • identify when learners need further support
  • cater to individual needs and learning levels
  • provide differentiated levels of guidance and support
  • encourage deeper thinking and analysis
  • provide more structured prompts and direct instruction
  • deliver a reliable teaching experience to your students

This will support your learners to:

  • increase independence whilst working online
  • collaboratively solve problems with teachers
  • develop their confidence
  • motivate them into their learning

Our online classroom is inviting and nurturing for all.

Create daily routines and schedule online 1-2-1 sessions with support teachers, safeguarding officers and support staff which allow for sharing emotions, identifying barriers and triggers as well as creating strategies to enhance their learning.

Behavioural Support – A Holistic Approach For Your Internal Alternative Provision

Supporting a holistic approach within your Internal Alternative Provision, our dedicated EDClass teachers deliver a comprehensive behaviour repair curriculum that adheres fully to the DfE’s statutory guidance on suspensions and exclusions.

Coupled with robust quality assurance and monitoring, they understand that academic progress and behavioural development are intertwined. Therefore, they create tailored learning pathways that not only address missed lessons and individual learning needs but also explicitly target behaviour repair through the extensive resources available on EDClass as well as their direct live support.

This integrated approach ensures effective behaviour modification, the development of positive coping mechanisms, and ultimately, successful and lasting reintegration for students.

Behaviour Repair

SEND and Alternative Provision

EDClass incorporates features and strategies to support the well-being, mental health, and specific learning needs of SEND students within the Internal Alternative Provision through its communication tools.

Individualised Communication

Teachers can use audio-only or chat for direct, private communication with SEND students who may find public interaction challenging. This allows for tailored explanations, quiet check-ins on understanding, and the provision of specific instructions or prompts related to their Individualised Education Plans (IEPs).

Visual Support with Voice-Over

For students with visual processing difficulties or those who benefit from multi-sensory learning, teachers can use screen sharing with voice-over to highlight key information, break down complex tasks visually, and provide clear, auditory explanations simultaneously. This caters to different learning styles and helps maintain focus.

Safe and Private Chat

The chat function provides a safe space for students to express concerns or ask for help privately, without feeling self-conscious. Teachers can use this to offer emotional support, signpost to well-being resources within the school or EDClass platform (if available), or simply provide a listening ear.

EDClass teachers deliver the online curriculum, while SEND teachers provide specialist intervention and support for students with specific needs in dedicated spaces. Trauma-informed teachers utilise behaviour monitoring tools and communication features to create a safe and supportive environment for short-term placements, ensuring effective progress tracking and facilitating smooth reintegration.

Trust through Voice

Consistent and caring voice-over during lessons or individual interactions can help build rapport and trust between the teacher and the student, creating a more supportive learning environment crucial for well-being.

Flexible Engagement

Offering choices in how students engage (e.g., responding via audio, chat, or annotating a shared screen) can reduce anxiety and empower students to participate in a way that feels comfortable for them, promoting well-being alongside learning.

Positive Reinforcement

Instant audio or chat allows for immediate and personalised positive feedback, which is crucial for building confidence and motivation, particularly for students who may have experienced academic or social-emotional challenges.

Scaffolding and Support

When stretching or challenging SEND students, teachers can use screen sharing with voice-over to provide visual scaffolding and break down complex tasks into manageable steps. Chat can be used for providing targeted hints and prompts, ensuring the challenge is appropriate and doesn't lead to frustration.

By strategically utilising these communication features, EDClass teachers can help assist your Internal Alternative Provision and create a more inclusive, supportive, and differentiated learning experience within the Internal Alternative Provision that addresses the specific academic, well-being, and mental health needs of their SEND students.

The key is the thoughtful and flexible application of these tools, guided by an understanding of each student's individual profile and needs.

Partnership and Fully Safeguarded

In essence, EDClass works in partnership with your organisation to utilise the teaching staff and safeguarding team as a vital tool to foster a more personalised and responsive learning environment within the Internal Alternative Provision.

Combined with the flexibility of on-demand resources, interactive tools, and differentiated teaching, learning, curriculum and questioning, EDClass can effectively cater to the diverse needs of IAP students, providing both the necessary support and the appropriate level of stretch and challenge to facilitate their academic progress and successful reintegration of all your students.
