Curriculum Pathways

with Peter Imray

The Equals charity has developed and published curriculum and assessment materials since 1994. In recent years work has progressed in relation to newer schemes of work for Pre-formal, Informal, Semi-formal and formal. During this session Peter Imray will talk through these Curriculum pathways. This is also an opportunity for schools to ask questions and talk about their own pupils. It seems to be commonplace for special schools to describe their curriculum as being delivered through ‘pathways’, but what does that actually mean? Equals argues that for schools to be regarded as specialist (rather than just special) they need to be delivering Pre-Formal, Informal and Semi-Formal Pathways which recognise that pupils and students with Profound, Complex and Severe Learning Disabilities learn differently from each other and very, very differently from nuero-typical, conventionally developing learners. That is, the Pathways need to be different to, rather than differentiated from, the National Curriculum.

Online CPD Sessions

“Love these courses, it is like having a university lecture/tutorial”

“I love listening to the evidence based information”

“All the information was presented simply and efficiently. It was interesting and the time passed very quickly. An excellent training session”

Rodney House School – Manchester

We feel the online training delivered by EQUALS have been WONDERFUL.  The relevance and depth of the sessions has been fantastic, Peter is a very knowledgeable man. Having training delivered online has enabled all our teachers to attend and have discussions after the event rather than one teacher attending and disseminating which can water down the content.
Thank you so much and keep them coming!
