Moving from the mainstream classroom to SET

Moving from the mainstream classroom to a special education role can bring with it some apprehension and worry. In this course we will look at the role of the SET and examine the continuum of support and how to use it to effectively meet the needs of students with additional needs. We will look at different forms of support teaching such as team teaching, small groups and individual tuition and discuss how to plan effectively and easily for these interventions.
