ABSTRACT

Newly qualified teachers, trainee teachers and teaching assistants receive little training in working with students with special needs – The SEN Handbook acts as a comprehensive guide for them. Features include:

  • collaboration with NASEN, ensuring up-to-the-minute advice on SEN issues
  • linked throughout to the National Standards allowing readers to understand exactly what is expected of them – and how to achieve it
  • practical, useful and accessible writing which is specifically aimed at TAs, NQTs and trainees
  • easy to ‘dip into’ when needed.

An invaluable resource for newly qualified teachers, teaching assistants and trainee teachers.
