The school library should be an inclusive space for the
whole school community with every student feeling welcomed and supported. This
course explores how we can provide for the needs of low literacy students and
those with SEND and EAL in the library. It will consider how the physical space
and resources can be used or adapted to encourage and support these students.
It will also look at how library activities and extra-curricular events can be
adjusted to make them more wide-ranging. Consideration will be given to the
academic, cultural and social needs of students as well as the legal
requirements. With lots of practical examples, advice and ideas, this is a
course that will appeal to both primary and secondary school library staff as
well as teachers who work with SEND and EAL students.
