Bloomsbury CPD Library: Supporting Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Bloomsbury CPD Library: Supporting Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

by Cherryl Drabble (Author), Sarah Findlater (Editor), Bloomsbury CPD Library (Author)

Synopsis

According to the most recent SEND Code of Practice, every teacher is a teacher of children with special educational needs and disabilities, and yet teachers often receive little or no training in this area. Despite their best intentions they are therefore often ill-equipped to rise to the challenge of helping their students achieve the best possible educational outcomes. This comprehensive resource will equip primary and secondary teachers and SENDCos with the training and skills they need to fully support children with SEND in mainstream classrooms. Cherryl Drabble draws on her vast experience as a CPD leader, NQT mentor and her many years of working with SEND to share guidance, practical activities and strategies for evaluating and strengthening your practice and that of your colleagues. The book provides a set of ready-to-use training plans, accompanied by PowerPoint slides available to download online for free, so you can train your colleagues in this essential area and ensure the best support possible for students with SEND across your school. In total, the book offers over 50 hours of CPD, equating to a cost of less than 50p per hour of training!

`... a comprehensive guide that will increase your knowledge about children with SEND, support you in improving your classroom practice, and help you train your colleagues as well. This book is simply indispensable.' * Sue Cowley, bestselling author and teacher trainer, @Sue_Cowley *
Written by an experienced special school practitioner with a track record of securing excellent outcomes for pupils with SEND, this book is full of practical and helpful examples for supporting pupils with additional needs in the mainstream classroom. An Aladdin's cave of tips and activities. * David Bartram, Director of SEND, London Leadership Strategy *
This book shares a collection of ideas and tips which can be a useful guide in ensuring that legislative requirements are being implemented in schools around the country... teachers outside of the legislation and guidance directed from London may also find ideas, tips and strategies to support some of the most special children that are part of our society. * UKEdChat *
