Inclusion and Differentiation: Observation of Good Practice. ...
School A
Elizabeth Garrett Anderson
Background information: 1500 pupils, 81% EM, 73% EAL. ...
This school has language college status and EAL appears to be a significant issue. Therefore, it is not surprising that their approach was very much a whole school one, with the KS3 manager stating that all departments within their school were responsible for monitoring the progress of EM and EAL learners. ... The school’s main ethos appears to suggest that all teachers are essentially literacy teachers and should structure their lessons as such.
The good practice for EAL inclusion observed at this school included demonstration of the use of differentiated support materials, some in the first language of the pupil, and lessons that were very visual, making use of PowerPoint. ...
School B.
Falinge Park High School
Background information: 1200 pupils, 57% EM, 57% EAL. ...
At this school there is an EAL faculty, who work closely with certain staff to discuss and review their provision for, and attainment of EAL and EM pupils. ... Interestingly, this school encouraged EAL pupils to learn from their more fluent English speaking peers, by carefully planning grouping within the classroom. ... These kinds of practices are what the EAL faculty at this school appears to be built upon and strives to achieve them in all subject areas.
School C.
Netherhall School. ...
This school has a completely different intake of EM and EAL pupils and so subsequently displays quite a different approach to their provision within school. There is one EMA Co-ordinator in the school who supports in a range of subjects across the curriculum. The strategies employed by the school are again based upon the KS3 strategy, with extra support for pupils learning EAL.
The video showed an example of a drama lesson in which the EMA Co-ordinator was involved, but not to the extent in school A. ... The teacher had the opportunity to help her EAL pupil directly and individually during the lesson, but also supported school B’s idea that EAL pupils can benefit from their more fluent peers.
