Achieving QTS Series
We begin by exploring what is meant by SEND in primary schools and go on to cover all you need to know about your statutory responsibilities in school. Current legislation and the Code of Conduct are covered, to give you lots of information about the content you will be working in. The book then examines the range of needs you will encounter in primary schools giving you details information and practical advice.
This second edition has been fully restructured and updated to include a new section on the key theory relating to SEND. Exploring theories and theorist that you will need to know about to fully understand how to support children. Also new for this edition is a chapter focusing on the role of the SENCO in the primary school. Finally, the book includes more practical support to help you in the classroom. Checklists to help you to work comprehensively and information about useful resources and outside agencies.
This book has been suggested for qualified teachers who are completing professional development with the university. It has been suggested to use this text to support the development of teachers.
A clear and up to date resource
This book provides very valuable advice to trainee teachers learning how to ensure they address the needs of all children effectively.
an incredibly accessible text, I can see many uses for it on many courses. Definitely one to have!
A very useful text for the Special Educational Needs and Inclusive Practice Foundation Degree. It is current and covers the Primary School age range. The focus is on behavioural, emotional and social needs. The case studies in particular will be very useful to encourage thinking and discussion.
Not as relevant to my modules as I had anticipated it might be.
A 'general' book that covers a breadth of SEND issues. I would have liked to see more of the underpinning theory in order to recommend this book beyond 'supplementary' reading, for example, on page 79 regarding multisensory teaching, it is correct that "all senses need to be stimulated" but I need my students to go beyond this and say why this is the case. Page 74 talks of 'diagnosing' dyslexia and I feel this could be better approached by using the words "identifying dyslexia" especially as earlier chapters describe the medical model and move towards a more inclusive practice.
This text is extremely useful to other professionals as well as teachers, themselves. It gives an understanding of the issues and approaches used in supporting children with educational needs. For Occupational therapists working in this field, it gives invaluable information and insights.
A useful text which concisely articulates the different positions on inclusive education in current educational contexts.
A very comprehensive text especially in the light of recent changes to SEND provision. Very practical advise, accessible for my level 5 students.
1. Completely restructured
2. New section on the theory of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
3. New chapter on the role of the SENCO in primary schools
4. More practical support materials like checklists and lists of useful resources
Note: The book as a whole is now far more friendly for those learning to be support staff in schools, as well as trainee teachers.
