Are you responsible for inclusion in your school?

You may not have the day-to-day responsibility for teaching individual pupils or groups, but you now have a strategic role that covers a whole lot more than special educational needs. Your role is to steer your school in the direction of inclusion. This book sets you off with a wide range of information and plenty of ideas and provides a stimulus for reflection on your practice.

This comprehensive and accessible text will help you to create and manage an inclusive school, covering a wide range of knowledge and skills including:

• recent legislation
• how to interpret data to judge how well different groups in your school are achieving
• where the money comes from
• getting the best from your staff
• how to get accreditation for your work on inclusion
• what inclusive teaching and learning looks like
• the Common Assessment Framework
• working with special schools
• community cohesion
• reporting to governors, parents and Ofsted
• working on an inclusion strategy.

A checklist of good practice enables you to keep track of how far you have come. Useful references to organisations, websites and publications are provided to make your life easier.

This invaluable companion for Inclusion Managers, SENCos and anyone working on inclusion, gathers together the background information and practical advice you need to successfully manage a truly inclusive learning environment.
