| A GTC resource file on professional education and development for teachers in relation to Special Educational Needs (SEN). |
The resource is based on ten examples of practice, taken from schools across the country, with links to additional sources of useful information and practice. It is one of the outcomes of a GTC project that brought together practice, policy and research to better understand teachers’ ongoing professional education and development needs.
Most sections should take five minutes or less to read!
This resource should be most useful to:
It should also provide valuable material for Local Authority advisors, and those involved in training and mentoring teachers at the start of their careers.
We would like to update the resource file each term, so do let us know of any further examples of practice you would like to offer, or any other useful organisations and sites we can add to the resource file.
Let us know what you think of the resource file by emailing any comments, corrections or additions to: connect@gtce.org.uk
