They have been published by the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) and include:
The professional guides are short and offer practical guidance that encourages reflection as well as advice that can be adopted into teaching practice.
They complement the increased focus given to additional support needs in the revised Professional Standards for teachers, which become mandatory in Scotland in August 2021.
Ken Muir, chief executive and registrar at GTCS, said: “In the last 10 years we have seen a near six-fold increase of children and young people with a recorded additional support need in our schools. During this time, we have embarked on a number of projects to help registrants enhance their skills and capacity to support children and young people with additional support needs, the latest of which is the publication of these professional guides.”
