Book Description
Only two roles are statutorily required in maintained schools, the Headteacher and the SENCO, and of these, only the SENCO is required to be a qualified teacher, demonstrating just how vital SENCOs are. But being the SENCO can be a lonely role as there is typically only one per school, so it is not always easy to know how SENCOs in other schools are undertaking the role, and there is plenty of what SENCOs do that does not get seen. This book shares the wisdom and experience of individual SENCOs with the entire SENCO community. It provides practical insights on inclusion and specialist provision, and reveals the professional inner secrets of SENCOs, from the things SENCOs wish they had known at the outset of their career to the best and worst decisions they have made. The chapters explore alternatives to school exclusion, examine ways of using data to improve inclusion and share the inspirational stories of individual learners with SEND. The Secret Life of SENCOs will transform how you deliver the SENCO role by combining the benefit of hindsight with the luxury of insight to provide the privilege of foresight. It is a valuable resource for both new and experienced SENCOs, as well those considering beginning in the role.

Dis/ability Studies
Author: Dan Goodley
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134060831
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
In this ground-breaking new work, Dan Goodley makes the case for a novel, distinct, intellectual, and political project – dis/ability studies – an orientation that might encourage us to think again about the phenomena of disability and ability. Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary areas, including sociology, psychology, education, policy and cultural studies, this much needed text takes the most topical and important issues in critical disability theory, and pushes them into new theoretical territory. Goodley argues that we are entering a time of dis/ability studies, when both categories of disability and ability require expanding upon as a response to the global politics of neoliberal capitalism. Divided into two parts, the first section traces the dual processes of ableism and disablism, suggesting that one cannot exist without the other, and makes the case for a research-driven and intersectional analysis of dis/ability. The second section applies this new analytical framework to a range of critical topics, including: The biopolitics of dis/ability and debility Inclusive education Psychopathology Markets, communities and civil society. Dis/ability Studies provides much needed depth, texture and analysis in this emerging discipline. This accessible text will appeal to students and researchers of disability across a range of disciplines, as well as disability activists, policymakers, and practitioners working directly with disabled people.
