Please refer to the SWAN Evidence Chapter for NCCD details

Evidence

Author: SWAN Staff

Target Audience: SWAN Coordinator, HOTL, Head of Learning Enrichment (TBC), NCCD Audit

Purpose & Description: A record of evidence of: assessed individual needs, student adjustment, consultation / collaboration, teacher planning, monitor & review

Clarification required. This record type may be redundant as it could be captured as a TAG in PC reporting but will service as a 'general' evidence record type for SWAN staff when used with SWAN-Evidence TAGs.

Evidence - TA Secondary Notes

Author: SWAN Staff

Target Audience: SWAN Coordinator, HOTL, NCCD Audit

Purpose & Description: A record of evidence of lesson notes recorded by SWAN Teacher Aides who are in class with students supporting their learning needs. This is an example of adjustments & monitoring & review.

EAL/D

Author: SWAN Staff

Target Audience: SWAN Coordinator, HOTL, NCCD Audit

Purpose & Description: Records relating to English as a Second Language or Dialect (EAL-D). This includes observations and notes about EAL-D students, Bandscale Report.

Clarification required. What other entry types might be added here?

NCCD Forms

Author: SWAN Staff

Target Audience: SWAN Coordinator, HOTL, NCCD Audit

Purpose & Description: A special record type that is an internal audit tool ('form') for checking that a student has sufficient evidence to qualify for:

  • Physical / Cognitive / Social-Emotional / Sensory
  • QDTP (Quality Differentiated Teaching Practice) / Supplementary / Substantial / Extensive

Clarification required. This record type may be redundant or not required. Value in the record type - but some double up in the template.

Assessed Individual Needs

Author: SWAN Staff

Target Audience: SWAN Coordinator, HOTL, NCCD Audit

Purpose & Description: A single-record-entry per SWAN student that lists documents that collect evidence of 'assessed individual needs'. 

Clarification required. This record type may be redundant as it could be captured as a TAG in PC reporting: SWAN-Evidence-Assessed Individual Needs. Also, it is a clumsy looking record type that is not easy to engage with for multiple evidence types. Better to delete this record type and retain 'Evidence' + use of TAGs for SWAN Evidence entry.

Feedback from Sec SWAN - value esp. for medical reports / etc. that are collected but don't form part of the NCCD evidence. May be a double up of 'Stakeholder Communication'....

Using TAGs for SWAN Evidence

Fold out below for more information.

Additional - TAGGING SWAN-Evidence

This is a duplication of content from SWAN->Evidence 

All evidence is recorded in Schoolbox Pastoral Care as 'PC Records' and is then tagged where appropriate with the following 'TAGS':

  1. SWAN-Evidence-Assessed Individual Needs
  2. SWAN-Evidence-Adjustments
  3. SWAN-Evidence-Monitoring & Review
  4. SWAN-Evidence-Consultation & Collaboration

This allows for records to have multiple TAGs and reduces the need for records to be duplicated. For example:

  • an email chain between parents and teachers may include:
    • evidence of assessed individual needs
      • parental report of disability in conjunction with evidence of an assessed individual need
    • evidence of adjustments
      • teacher reply with adjustments made in class
    • evidence of monitoring & review
      • modifications made to the adjustment over time including reflections
    • evidence of consultation & collaboration
      • the email chain itself

An email chain of this nature can include all of the 'SWAN-Evidence' tags above.

SWAN staff are able to retrospectively apply TAGs where appropriate leading up to an audit.

Below is a breakdown of the different types of evidence and examples of what is included in each type.
