This accessible and empowering book helps SENCOs and their line managers to define what leadership of SEND means in practice and how SENCOs can continue to grow and develop in their role.
Combatting the lack of clarity, identity and agency often associated with the position, the book defines career aspirations for future and practicing SENCOs. It examines the SEND leader trajectory from initial teacher training to advanced leadership using an evidence-based model and practical tools, to measure strengths and further areas for development. The book is divided into two parts, first examining the SENCO role before focusing on 7 -habits- needed to maximise effectiveness.
Chapters include:
- Original research broken down into an accessible and impactful guidance reference for use in schools.
- Spaces for reflection to help readers build a sense of identity, agency and power.
- Top tips to support recruitment and retention, as well
