Who is this resource for?
This resource is for anyone who works with deaf pupils in a secondary school. It provides guidance on ensuring that:
- teaching strategies engage deaf pupils in learning, enabling them to develop key skills in communication, reading, writing and mathematics deaf pupils make sustained progress, to narrow attainment gaps compared with other pupils
- the curriculum provides positive experiences for deaf pupils, offering well-organised, imaginative and effective opportunities for learning and a broad range of experiences that contribute to their achievement and spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
Deafness is not a learning disability and, given the right support, deaf pupils can make the same progress as hearing pupils of similar cognitive ability.
