Providing a practical guide to strategic management in the field of special educational needs, this book gives the reader a framework for raising achievement throughout the school. By focusing on how to manage SEN strategically, rather than on planning for individual children, it shows how you can make it part of the overall school improvement process. The book provides essential tools that SENCOs, headteachers and governors can use to analyse data, set objectives, measure and evaluate outcomes for SEN just as they do for other areas of the curriculum. The book helps schools to: understand their own strengths and weaknesses in meeting SEN, and plan for school improvement; prepare for Ofsted inspections; consider the evidence base for different forms of provision; improve outcomes for lower attaining pupils; plan strategically to increase inclusion; implement performance management; and reduce bureaucracy and paperwork. It enables schools to target limited resources where they will have most impact on promoting inclusion and raising attainment for all.
