Select Committee converge aboard SEN training
Firstly, she wanted apt understand why instructor education and improving it had such a cheap priority (Q142) as the DfES. In feedback, Ian Coates (divisional manager, Special Educational Needs and Disability Division, DfES) denoted that SEN training namely one increasingly tall priority, and that current go aboard the modification of instructor standards being undertaken by the Teacher Development Agency (TDA) would invest one chance apt beyond improve training provision. He too pointed out namely materials and guidance on SEN were available apt teachers, yet admitted that there is extra to be done. Secondly, Dr Blackman-Woods expressed concern about training among initial teacher training programmes, and, referring to policy contoured in Removing Barriers to Achievement, eminent that it merely stated that there ought be a development by the TDA of optional expert SEN modules, so that there is not guarantee whatsoever that entire teachers who are training are going to take those modules (Q143). In response, Mr Coates anew referred to work by the TDA on revising teacher standards,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], indicating that this might lead to SEN having far more teeth within initial teacher training in the future. Finally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Dr Blackman-Woods indicated that committee members were shocked to ascertain out that there is no a specialised graduate diploma accessible as practising teachers (Q143), given the emphasis on mainstreaming [inclusion] in government plan. She also wanted to know more almost how teachers obtain the space to take on board the continual professional development (CPD), how they are encouraged to do that, who amounts, who records if they do it alternatively not do it and what are the penalties for not doing it? Presumably,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], her reference here was to the essential issue of generic SEN training rather than to ring fenced imperative training (eg for teachers of listening or visually injured pupils), and to the important issue of an entitlement to expert chronic professional development for classroom and subject teachers, to teachers with a particular amuse in SEN, and of lesson, SENCOs.In asking this important question, Dr Blackman-Woods was highlighting the absence of coherence and detail in plan arranging and implementation that seems to have been a function of inclusion as a political imperative during the elapse ten-year. In a terse response, Andrew McCully (allocation director for the School Standards Group, DfES) referred to the fashionable professionalism, featured in DfES policy documents (eg the Five Year Strategy for Children and Learners), which identifies the magnitude of CPD for teachers, and the correlating of it to representation fathom used in schools. Following this response, due to period restraints, the spoken testify conference ended. This was disastrous, as an opportunity was missed to reflect on the averaging of new professionalism for SENCOs.SENCOs and new professionalism Baroness Mary Warnock told the SEN Inquiry, during its 1st oral testify session (31 October 2005, response to Q39), that the role of SENCO as teacher was under menace, as schools in assorted portions of the nation were employing instructing assistants to do the job.(2) This casts a shadow on the notion of new professionalism, and recent correspondence among the DfES and members of the SENCO-Forum e-discussion group would appear to confirm that lawful government policy on the status of SENCOs is that, as long as headteachers and governing bodies have regard to the Code of Practice, it is not illegal for them to nominate teaching assistants or other patronize staff as SENCOs.(3) This advice would seem to be fully incongruous with either the principles and specific guidance profiled in the code itself, and is certainly a stuff that the SEN Inquiry will want to seek clarification on.4This clarification is also necessity if the TDA review of teachers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], standards is to produce anything additional than a fudged response to the needs of SENCOs, aspiring SENCOs, the schools they work in and the pupils whose absences they aspire to meet.Notes 1.

The exclusionThe head teacher wrote to the parents of R and F telling them that neither R nor F could come back to school, but that they would be given help in completing their course at home. He should, of course, have told the parents immediately, ideally by telephone followed by a letter, of their right to make representations to the governing body.
