A SEND teacher in a mainstream school is overwhelmed by managing 8 high-need children with severe behaviors (hitting, biting, absconding) with no support from SLT or staff, leading to injuries and inability to deliver instruction.
Current support systems fail because SLT are unresponsive and other teachers lack SEND training, leaving the teacher isolated and without effective strategies or tools to manage extreme behaviors and ensure safety.
Workarounds Described
- Constant personal supervision to prevent injuries and absconding
- Repeatedly calling SLT for help with extreme behavior, but often redirected to other classes
- Using other staff members from other classes for support, though they can only be spared briefly
Implied Software Gaps
- Automated alerting system to summon immediate assistance from available staff without relying on phone calls or physical presence
- Centralized behavior tracking and intervention planning to help untrained staff understand how to support deregulated students
- Communication platform to keep parents informed about educational activities, not just caregiving
