SEND resources collection
The inclusion of special educational needs and disabled (SEND) students in the classrooms of mainstream schools can be a cause of concern for the teacher. With the new changes to schools’ progress measures coming into effect in 2016, showing that all children are making progress can be challenging. With the right training and guidance however, it needn’t be. In this series of resources, we offer a series of advisory articles are also featured, written by teachers in the field, offering valuable advice and suggestions for strategies to use with SEND students, along with some of the relevant associations and organisations that are of help in advising, supporting and, in some cases, offering onsite training. There are also recordings of online CPD sessions focussing on SEND teaching.
