1Question

Tell me about a time you helped an SEN student overcome a significant learning challenge

I worked with a Year 3 pupil with autism who struggled with numeracy concepts. The situation required breaking down mathematical tasks into smaller, visual steps. I created a structured learning programme using manipulatives and visual schedules, spending 20 minutes daily on one-to-one sessions. Over 8 weeks, I gradually introduced new concepts whilst reinforcing previous learning. The result was remarkable - the student progressed from counting to 10 to successfully completing addition problems up to 20, and their confidence in maths lessons increased significantly. This experience taught me the importance of patience and individualised approaches in SEN education.
2Question

Describe a situation where you had to adapt your teaching approach for a student's specific needs

I had a Year 2 student with ADHD who couldn't focus during traditional literacy lessons. The task was to help them develop reading comprehension skills whilst managing their attention difficulties. I redesigned my approach to include movement breaks every 10 minutes, used interactive storytelling with props, and created shorter reading passages with visual cues. I also implemented a reward system for sustained attention. After 6 weeks, the student's reading comprehension improved by 40% and they could maintain focus for 15-minute periods. This experience reinforced how flexible teaching methods can unlock potential in every child.
