(Post-Primary) Continuum of Support
The Department has set out the Continuum of Support framework to assist schools in identifying and responding to students’ needs. This framework recognises that special educational needs occur along a continuum, ranging from mild to severe, and from transient to long term, and that students require different levels of support depending on their identified educational needs. Using this framework helps to ensure that interventions are incremental, moving from class-based interventions to more intensive and individualised support, and that they are informed by careful monitoring of progress.

NALDIC Pupil Portraits
Teachers' accounts of how pupils learn EAL in our schools
These pupil portraits were written by teachers and show how real bilingual pupils learn EAL in the mainstream classroom and how their teachers support them to do so. Teachers talk about aspects of spoken language, social and cultural context, language demands and language and cognitive development which are so important in learning EAL.
