Teach Primary Magazine V.20 No.2 Edição anterior

It seems that not a month goes by where we don’t hear of one ‘major overhaul’ or another in education. Whilst there is certainly a lot of progress to be made, and efforts to improve outcomes – for both teachers and pupils – are generally welcomed, theconstant change can feel a bit overwhelming.
So, just as the dust is beginning to settle from the Curriculum and Assessment Review (hear what veteran teacher and leader Kevin Harcombe has to say on that on page 13; spoiler – he’s not impressed), the SEND review is on the horizon. At the time of writing, the white paper has yet to be released, and so we wait with bated breath. As soon as we have more information, rest assured we’ll be hard at work parsing what it means for those of you on the front lines, but for now, Penny Whelan is here to share her tips on how to make assessment processes a bit smoother for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (see page 52), without adding a ton of work to everyone’s slate.
