"This highly practical book contains all the guidance and resources a school will need in order to implement an efficient and effective system of pupil progress tracking and evaluative Provision Mapping. It is a tried and tested system that has been shown to improve outcomes for all pupils, including those with SEN, and sits at the very heart of school self-evaluation. Throughout this book, teachers will find achievable solutions to the problems schools face in trying to ensure that their practice results in all pupils making good progress. Anne Massey has adapted the existing government-produced Provision Mapping system and developed it into a more evaluative framework that links a number of school improvement actions together. All the recommendations in this book: - have been tried and tested in Primary schools, Special schools and PRUs; - will result in a reduction in bureaucracy and paperwork for SENCOs; - will provide an enhanced understanding of inclusion by teachers; - foster an improved understanding of 'value for money'. As a result of implementing a more efficient Provision Mapping system, better communication will be achieved within the school, with parents and with Local Education Authorities. Senior managers, leadership teams, SENCOs and other educational professionals will find the guidance and support provided by this toolkit invaluable. Provision Mapping will also be of value to those studying the more SEN-specific postgraduate diplomas or Masters level qualifications"--

"At a time when many schools are struggling to become more inclusive within a contradictory national policy context, this book provides some helpful practical leads. Its central message is that of the importance of developing an inclusive school culture within which every child really does matter." Professor Mel Ainscow, University of Manchester, UK "It is a most useful resource for both practitioner-researchers and for school-based initiatives. Written in an accessible style and designed in a format that makes it ideal for use in continuing professional development, it is just right for the needs of twenty first century headteachers and their schools. I highly recommend it as a stimulating and supportive springboard for fruitful dialogue." Jenny Corbett, Emeritus Reader, Institute of Education, University of London, UK This book examines and offers solutions to the challenges faced by schools in ensuring that all students are enjoying, participating and achieving in education. The authors argue that self evaluation lies at the heart of truly inclusive school development. The book focuses on supporting schools in understanding and using school based systems and processes in a joined up, meaningful and strategic way to impact positively upon the progress and participation of all pupils. These processes include: self evaluation data analysis intervention planning provision mapping target setting Each system is explored and the reader is encouraged to consider them critically in order to develop an understanding of how and why to use these systems to enhance inclusive practice throughout the school. The authors present a model of inclusive practice, 'Inclusion in Action' which demonstrates how these processes can be linked together to inform and impact upon whole school strategic planning. With case studies, examples, templates and models, this practical and accessible book responds to the day to day needs of the SENCO, teacher, leader and everyone within the school setting in evaluating and meeting the needs of all pupils effectively.
In 2005 around 18 per cent of all pupils in schools in England were categorised as having some sort of special educational need (SEN); around 3 per cent had a statement of SEN; and 1 per cent were in special schools. Although many of these children are receiving the education they need, there are large numbers who are being failed by the system. This report, based on over 230 written memoranda and oral evidence from 50 witnesses, considers how the Government can improve outcomes for all children with SEN and disabilities. It concludes that education has moved on in the past 30 years, yet the SEN system is still based on the 1978 Warnock Report and is no longer fit for purpose. The Government should clearly state a vision for children with SEN and disabilities an provide a National Strategy linked to minimum standards and a statutory requirement for local authorities to provide a broad continuum of flexible provision, including high quality special schools.
