ABSTRACT
The Warnock Report has been very influential in both practice and policy since then. The Report highlighted the paucity of curriculum development in certain areas, in particular moderate learning difficulties. The curriculum for pupils with special educational needs was seen as needing to be different from that provided for 'normal' pupils. The chapter describes the very hub of the process of education; the match between the teacher's teaching strategies and the pupil's learning strategies such that the maximum amount of learning can be achieved. It has the potential for really raising the achievement of all pupils, including the more able. Because 'broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated' are being applied to all children, those with special educational needs are being brought firmly into the responsibility of all teachers. There is a shift away from all teachers being teachers of special educational needs pupils, to all pupils being given access to their entitlement to a common National Curriculum.
