Publications
At Stride it is our aim to produce materials which will enhance the work of teachers and support staff working with pupils with special needs.
It is so difficult for staff to find published material that is appropriate to their pupils and they are always in a situation where they have to adapt and produce their own.
In October Stride published Delivering Careers Education and Work-related Learning to Pupils with Learning Difficulties. This is a complete guide and scheme of work from year seven through to post-sixteen in careers education, which is now statutory from year seven.

Delivering
Careers Education to Pupils with Learning Difficulties
We worked with teachers and Connexions Personal Advisers to produce the book in response to looking at the framework produced by the DfES, 'The Careers Education and Guidance Framework'(CEG). In the CEG it states that staff working with pupils with special needs can use the framework how they see fit which is just what we did.
The material in the pack aims to enable pupils to make a successful transition to adult life and does it in a way which is appropriate for all pupils with learning difficulties including those with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD).
Through adapting the CEG, the Stride publication provides guidance to staff to:
- prepare young people for the opportunities and responsibilities they will encounter through their lives
- help young people make decisions about themselves and their choices
- enable young people to manage change and transition
I am grateful to Stride Training Limited for this guide to Careers Education and Work-Related Curriculum. It is a wonderfully practical document that a teacher new to learning
difficulties could use to deliver well-planned, differentiated and ‘fun’ lessons. Equally, for the experienced teacher, the guide is a brilliant resource to use as a springboard for further content, ideas and creativity. It is a must for every teacher from year 7 upwards...
