Product Description
A Teacher's Guide to the SIAS Document – Less Paperwork, More Teaching
Authors: L Preston, W van der Merwe
Format: Physical Hardcopy
A teacher’s guide to the SIAS document is aimed at providing all role players who are involved with children with a hands-on guide to using the South African policy document on Screening, Intervention, Assessment and Support (SIAS).
It is an interactive and informative guide offering detailed guidance to all professionals who work with children on how to obtain the optimum support for the learners who are entrusted to them, whether it be for education, legal assistance, professional help or medical interventions. This book is aimed especially at the emerging teacher, but also addresses the more seasoned educator in highlighting support avenues for alternative actions and resources that tend to be forgotten, overlooked or simply ignored.
The avenues that should be followed by all those working with children have been clearly defined in an effort to emphasise the importance of inclusion in the lifeworld of the next generation.
All children have the potential to thrive, survive and achieve to the best of their abilities if they are given equal opportunities and are shown the nature of encompassing humanity. It must be remembered that the future will be in the hands of the youth of today.
