4D: From Graduated Inclusion to Adaptive Curriculum Pathways
Teaching & Learning
Session 1
This session explores how the 4D framework enables providers to adopt a graduated approach to inclusion that informs adaptive curriculum pathways, creating learning experiences that respond to learner need from day one. Discover how understanding learner starting points can be used to personalise support, adapt curriculum delivery and create ambitious learning experiences that improve engagement, participation and achievement.
Inclusive Teaching Under Pressure: Practical Strategies for Face-to-Face and Virtual Learning
Teaching & Learning
Session 2
Inclusive teaching is often discussed when conditions are ideal. The real challenge is maintaining participation, confidence and progress when learners experience barriers, support needs, low confidence, competing demands or digital challenges.
This practical workshop explores simple, evidence-informed approaches that help create learning environments where more learners can participate, belong and succeed. Drawing on examples from further education, apprenticeships and adult learning, delegates will explore strategies that support inclusion in both face-to-face and virtual settings. The session focuses on practical design choices, learner confidence, participation and belonging, with approaches that are valuable for all learners and vital for some.

Reimagining Personal Development- Moving from Compliance to Culture
Teaching & Learning
Session 4
Personal development has become a key priority across further education, yet many learners still experience it as something that is delivered to them rather than designed with them. This interactive workshop explores how providers can move beyond compliance-driven approaches and create personal development programmes that are relational, culturally aware and embedded within wider college culture. Drawing on practical experience leading an Ofsted outstanding provision, participants will hear directly from students, take part in a learner-led activity and explore how student voice, relevance and meaningful engagement can transform outcomes. Attendees will leave with practical ideas to strengthen impact within their own settings.
Getting it Right from Day One: The transition into Apprenticeships for SEND learners

Session 3
Join the Education and Training Foundation (ETF) to explore why the initial stage of transitioning SEND learners from school to Independent Training Providers (ITPs) is critical to preventing apprenticeship breakdown. Featuring expert insight and composite case studies, attendees will participate in roundtable activities to collaboratively blueprint optimum transitions. You will leave with practical, evidence-informed strategies and actionable solutions to strengthen early-stage onboarding, as well as secure long-term success for SEND apprentices from day one.
