Article: [senit] ICT subject teachers in SLD

thanks, ICT teachers in SLD might have some of the
follwing roles with respect to the in-school
,teaching, side of the job. Some of these might be
more common where the teacher does not have a class as
well;

*teach ICT curriculum to classes
*set up ICT support for individuals in classes
*support groups using ICT in classes
*take out groups for ICT
*take out individual students to develop ICT skills
*team teach ICT with class teachers
*do individual ICT assessments
*support ICT across curric-how?

Some of these might relate to the client group- eg it
is presumably easier to teach ICT to a class of
students with MLD than with PMLD. Others might depend
on the host classes- eg it might be more productive to
take a student out than compete with a class lesson.
Others might depend on the stage of ICT reached by the
class staff- eg more intervention in those classes
needing it most.
Does anyone have any comments on these modes of
working and when they use one rather than another?Any
other patterns of working?
Also any more ICT teachers in SLD without a class out
there?
thanks david
