Meaning of teachers phrase?

[Harcar]

My DS has recently moved to a specialist setting. He was moved to a different class as he found it difficult to sit at a desk to do his lessons. The class he is now they learn through play. We had an informal meeting with DS teacher who said his new class suits him and. he is different on paper. What does this mean?

It means DS presents differently in person than to how his paperwork suggests he ‘should’ present.

Thank you. This either means he learns differently to how is suggested or his ability is different to how has been suggested. As his OP I said in his report he was making some progress in his learning. That developmentally he was behind in one or two areas. His school suggested he had made some progress but he had a lot of issues with his development.

I'd interpret that as the first class he was placed in was based on how he was described in report's but now they have met him in person, they realise he needs something different to what they had predicted.

Thank you. In terms of learning the teachers can see a lot of ability waiting to come out but that classroom is more secure. My DS is hyperactive and does run off especially if he wants to explore.

Although my DS was a couple of years behind his peers in mainstream. He had a very good 1:1 and had made good progress with her. Unfortunately she left and my DS was looked after by various TAs but he wasn’t really taught by them, for his last term causing him to make less progress. His 1:1 at his new school can see he is capable but it may made more difficult by language impairment, lack of teaching.

The TAs shouldn’t have been teaching DS, DS should be taught be a teacher and supported by the 1:1.

Sorry, the teachers taught DS to an extent. As he wasn’t fully accessing the National Curriculum during early years and hardly atall in KS1, He had his own learning program implemented by a head teacher from a local SEN school, as they provide outreach services for mainstream schools. His 1:1 worked on this with him, but when she left he appeared to just be doing activities devised by his SENCO with various TAs but still being taught by his teachers.

The original class DS was in at his SEN school he was younger than his classmates and the teaching style was different. The class he is in now they are his age and I think the style of teaching maybe suits him better. We can certainly see some progress being made.
