The SENCO handbook

"This updated third edition will support primary or secondary school Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators (SENCOs) in defining and developing their considerable responsibilities. By examining key elements of the whole-school SEN policy in line with the TTA National Standards for SENCOs, the author provides down-to-earth advice about all aspects of their role. This edition has new material arising both from the author's experience running a consortium for SENCO training courses and from new government documentation including the revised National Curriculum. Topics include: roles and responsibilities for SEN within a whole-school policy; Individual Education Planning; differentiating the Curriculum: key issues for key stages; managing effective support; working with multi-professional networks; managing paperwork and procedures; and working towards inclusive practice." "This handbook will be a resource for all those involved in SEN Co-ordination. It will also provide background reading for those undertaking training for the SENCO role."--Jacket.
