This new and practical book is an invaluable resource for SENCOs and other staff to learn how to use the P levels effectively. The P scales help teachers to set appropriate and achievable targets for pupils with special educational needs and also provide a framework of common performance measures for benchmark information, and for the calculation of value-added improvement for pupils working at these levels.

From 2007 all schools have to be able to incorporate P level data in reporting on pupils' progress, this book gives ready-made objectives for using in individual education plans and helps teachers to differentiate work, across the curriculum, for pupils within a wide range of ability.

The easy to use contents follows the numbered levels and each section includes:

  • a 'tips' box
  • a 'strategy sheet'
  • pupil-speak resources: issues/questions and responses
  • checklists/planning grids.

This useful book provides practical, step-by-step guidance on how to use the P levels in mainstream schools to plan for pupils working below NC Level 1 and effectively meet their learning needs.
