Materials and power points from the recent session for secondary school leaders Practical Project Sharing that has made a difference to Teaching, Learning and Leadership have been uploaded to the Leadership Moodle (available through this link: Practical Project Sharing 1 July)

This session focused on pupils identified as SENDK and the practical implementation of the strategies and advice in the Hampshire document SEN Support Guidance for Schools.

Research shows that the most effective and sustainable professional learning is through collaborative, collegiate communities with a specific focus. The SENCO District Network provides a structure within which SENCOs are facilitated to develop their knowledge and understanding through research, and implementation of strategies to improve outcomes for learners. It is a continual process and forms a ‘spiral of enquiry’.

The content of each session would include national and local changes to policy, current research and resources as well as development of the strategic leadership role to drive improvement.
