About This Webinar
An all-too-common challenge for new teachers is handling the range of SEND that are so often found in the mainstream classroom. In this practical session, Garry Freeman will offer tips, resources and ideas to support ECTs. He will discuss where to find useful information on the range of common SEN that ECTs will likely encounter, including ADHD, autism and others. He will discuss how to connect the information in student SEN profiles to teaching and supporting the actual child in the classroom, where you can go to find professional support (and it's not just the SENCO!), how to build relationships with parents and families, and how teacher-student relationships are at the heart of effective SEN support and teaching. He will also touch upon issues of teacher wellbeing and self-care.
