Students with a disability, learning difficulty or other additional needs such as English as an Additional Language or Dialect may need modifications to assessments, so they can participate in their education on the same basis as their peers.

In this webinar, Jane Wenlock, a Learning Support Coordinator at Kolbe Catholic College, a secondary school in outer Melbourne, returns to share strategies, suggestions and ideas on how teacher aides can:
●    assist in the modification of student assessments
●    use rubrics
●    assist students needing minor adjustment through to students who may need a separate curriculum
