This is a whole-school learning access and participation framework, delivered as a six-book digital resource pack covering Junior Cycle and Senior Cycle.
It is not a curriculum programme, not a set of textbooks, and not a streaming or tracking system.
This pack exists to give schools a structured, non-labelling way to support students across different learning states, without fixing students into permanent categories.

-
Junior Cycle — Access Edition
-

-

-

Each book has a distinct purpose and is designed to be used selectively, not sequentially.
How the Access–Applied–Amplified Framework Works
The three editions reflect learning states, not ability levels.
-
Access supports students when participation is blocked
-
Applied supports students who need structured, meaning-first learning
-
Amplified supports students working at higher cognitive demand
Movement between Access, Applied, and Amplified is expected, normal, and reversible.
The framework:
It supports temporary, responsive adjustments that reduce barriers and protect dignity.
What This Pack Supports Schools With
Across Junior and Senior Cycle, this pack supports schools by providing:
-
A shared language for learning support that avoids labels
-
Consistent approaches to access, pacing, and cognitive load
