    The Mindful Toolkit (a zipped file) includes information cards and task cards.

Each task card is mapped to a SEND pathway: Communication and interaction, Learning and cognition, Social, emotional and mental health, and Sensory and hearing impairments.

    Supporting learners with additional needs: A three-tier approach

    etf:2858

    This guide outlines ways that learners can get the support they need without necessarily drawing on Additional Learning Support funding. Some learners don’t want to be singled out as
    needing extra help or to have a member of support staff visibly assigned to them. Enabling learners with additional needs to make good progress is as much about differentiated,

    ETF teaching films

    etf:2853

    ETF worked to create a set of subject specific films where expert practitioners talked about tips and tricks of delivering their particular subjects. As some of the content seemed at times rather generic we have created two sets of films:
    1] Films where a teacher from FE talks generally about good teaching practice
    2] Films where the teacher talks specifically about teaching X, where X is their subject

    Maths and English in Prison Work and Training

    etf:2849

    This resource has been inspired by the innovative work carried out by HMP Kirklevington Grange and HMP Haverigg in their exploration of developing prisoners’ English and maths alongside learning vocational skills/ working practices in prison workshops and industries.
