To support home learning during these challenging times, ASDAN has made available free resources for educators, parents, guardians and carers to support young people.
Free resources for pre-Entry to Level 2 The resources, ranging from pre-Entry to Level 2, have been taken from a range of ASDAN courses. They can be used in a home setting and challenges can be adapted to suit home learning, for example using video chat for group work to maintain and encourage interaction. We hope that these resources will help support those who share our passion for independent learning, promoting learner progress, and boosting young people’s confidence and self-esteem at this unprecedented time in their education. The resources cover areas including:
Support for learners with SEND We have also made available a large number of resources for learners with special educational needs and disabilities. These include four challenge booklets from our Lifeskills Challenge programme, which offers a flexible way to recognise and reward small steps of achievement, with a focus on personalised learning and progression. Each booklet contains 10 challenges, along with an observation checklist and record of oral questioning template that can be used in a home environment. Challenge themes include living independently, keeping healthy and community inclusion. These can also be accessed from our free resources page. Please do forward this email on to anyone who you know is supporting home learning and would benefit from these free materials.
