priority to create a safe learning
environment for the student by
allowing him to sit in certain
preferred areas of the classroom
with preferred students. By doing
this it will allow the student to
concentrate on the task rather than
feeling uncomfortable.
Understanding what causes the
student to feel uncomfortable and
avoiding this if possible will ensure
the outcome for the student is
positive.
Throughout the personalised
learning plan I have differentiated
the curriculum to accommodate the
students needs. I have also utilised
the fact that the student prefers
working in a one-one setting by
using pair work for tasks that are
less favourable.
The result of this personalised
learning plan for the student and
the teacher will be favourable as
the student will be more
comfortable in the classroom and
therefore less disruptive.
