Introducing the GTC Networks.

Good teaching needs good networks and good networks need good teachers.

The GTC Networks provide support by linking teachers nationally and putting them in touch with the latest research and evidence. They let teachers have a voice at national debates on changes to education.

SEN practice examples: Principles into practice

Teachers told Engage about the basic principles that shape their teaching of pupils with additional and different learning needs.

General principles for inclusion

Pupils know what they need to help them succeed: so give them a chance to tell you.
Share what is praiseworthy: send good news home and to colleagues via email or postcards.
Take a professional risk by teaching something in a new way – if it works, do it again and if it doesn’t work, don’t worry.
Take the long view: pupils only spend a short time with each teacher – consider what came before and what will follow on from the stage they are at now.
Raise the game: have high aspirations for yourself and all your pupils.
Location, location, location: be clear about where your pupils are now, where you want them to be, and how you are going to get them there.
Take responsibility: focus on what you, as teacher, have to do to remove barriers to learning.
Focus on learning : ensure children and TAs know what is to be learned and how this relates to the intended task or activity.
