How to use Schools Plus Framework layers

The Schools Plus Framework displays the 11 Dimensions which make up an educational needs profile. Each dimension has six (6) levels of adjustment.

Profile Dimensions and Indicators

The Schools Plus profile consists of 11 dimensions, each with 6 levels that represent adjustments for students with diverse learning needs. The levels are written in terms of observable actions in schools.

Each dimension has six levels ranging from 1, which has the lowest intensity of adjustment, to 6, which has the highest level of adjustment possible within the school context.

Case studies are provided to clarify each level and assist in matching educational need to the level of adjustment required. The case studies are actual examples of informed practice. It must be noted that the adjustments cited in each case study are for illustrative purposes and may not be relevant in another context.
