Reaching the Unseen Children provides a powerful and accessible resource for schools working to raise the attainment of all disadvantaged pupils, with particular emphasis on white children from low-income backgrounds. This group – especially boys – consistently on average underperform in the education system, and the effects of COVID-19 will only have widened the gap. Drawing on her long experience of working with disadvantaged and left-behind communities, Jean Gross describes the path that many children take, from early language delays to persistent literacy and numeracy difficulties, which lead to progressive disengagement from learning. She argues that progress will only be made through early intervention and building pupils’ sense of capability, and sets out low-cost, low-effort ways in which teachers can transform outcomes for their students – through the everyday language they use, the expectations they convey, and the relationships they build with pupils and their parents. Providing practical, evidence-based strategies and case studies of schools with outstanding practice, this an essential guide for anyone working in education who is seeking equity for all their pupils.

Focusing on strategic management in special educational needs (SEN), this guide offers a framework for enhancing overall school achievement. It emphasizes integrating SEN into the broader school improvement process instead of isolating it to individual planning. The text equips SENCOs, headteachers, and governors with tools for data analysis, objective setting, and outcome evaluation, paralleling standard curriculum practices. Key topics include self-evaluation, development planning, evidence-based provision, and efficient resource allocation, making it a valuable resource for OFSTED planning and promoting inclusive education.

Focusing on enhancing children's language and communication abilities, this resource distills research into effective strategies for practitioners. It emphasizes the significance of creating environments that encourage conversation, providing meaningful reasons for children to engage in dialogue, and offering necessary support to facilitate communication. This comprehensive guide aims to equip professionals with the tools to foster better communication skills in children and young people.

This book shows how to tackle SEND bureaucracy by developing the provision available to all pupils. The 4th edn of this practical text features new case studies on outstanding SEND Provision, inclusive teaching, and ways to reduce workload. It is an essential resource for school leaders, SENCOs and students.

"Recent legislation and cutbacks to central support services mean that the responsibility for meeting special educational needs is resting ever more squarely on the shoulders of ordinary classroom teachers. Yet few feel wholly confident in their ability to adapt work within the national curriculum to meet the whole range of needs, or coordinate successful individual education plans for children who, for whatever reason, are not learning as well as they might." "This book will increase that confidence. Aimed at busy class teachers, special needs coordinators, heads, and teachers in training, it shows how the teacher can build differentiation into planning lessons and schemes of work. It describes workable strategies for managing the most common behaviour difficulties and meeting special needs in language, literacy and mathematics."--Jacket

La reciente investigación y la legislación educativa más democrática vienen defendiendo que las necesidades educativas especiales deben atenderse en las aulas ordinarias, en el marco de modelos pedagógicos inclusivos. Este libro se ocupa de las distintas formas posibles de desarrollar respuestas adecuadas a las necesidades educativas de cada estudiante. Insiste en que el profesorado, además de intentar mantenerse actualizado en sus conocimientos y destrezas, debe ofrecer expectativas positivas tanto sobre el rendimiento y la valía personal de cada alumna y alumno como sobre sus capacidades para llevar adelante esta filosofía y práctica educativa. Los resultados de esa confianza contribuirán a conformar un aula optimista en la que se satisfacen las necesidades de aprendizaje de cada estudiante, sin generar exclusiones. Jean GROSS, apoyándose en importantes investigaciones y experiencias pedagógicas en las aulas, ofrece una guía práctica con numerosas estrategias y recursos para atender las distintas necesidades educativas del alumnado, incidiendo especialmente en los trastornos de conducta y en las áreas de lenguaje, lectoescritura y matemáticas. La lectura de esta obra debe contribuir, tal y como subraya su autora, a que el alumnado con NEE y sus familias puedan confiar en encontrarse con docentes en las aulas ordinarias que digan: “La responsabilidad es mía; y en este colegio, con el apoyo que tengo y los recursos que puedo solicitar, podré hacer un buen trabajo con todos y cada uno de mis alumnos y alumnas. Puedo hacerlo. Sé que puedo”.

Berns Baukultur stellt eine wichtige Ressource dar, deren Erhalt und sorgfältige Weiterentwicklung Aufgabe der Denkmalpflege ist. Die kontinuierliche Arbeit der Denkmalpflege schlägt sich unverkennbar im Stadtbild nieder und ist letztlich die Voraussetzung für den Status der Berner Altstadt als Unesco-Weltkulturerbe. Zudem sorgt sie für Lebensqualität in den Quartieren. Die vorliegende Publikation stellt die wichtigeren und die besonders anschaulichen Beispiele aus den letzten vier Jahren dieser konstruktiven denkmalpflegerischen Tätigkeit vor. Für Bernfreunde ist das Buch gleichzeitig ein Streifzug durch die Quartiere und eine Entdeckungsreise zu den wertvollen, von der Denkmalpflege betreuten Bauten. 0.
