Check out our latest training, a new resource for challenging behaviour and the TES SEN Show is back!

| View in browser Dear IncludED community,   Welcome back everyone! Here we are, the summer term! Due to the Easter Holidays being so fragmented we have held off sending out our April newsletter until now. Next month we will get back to our usual (start of the month) newsletter so we'll keep this short and sweet.    We know that many of you get this e-mail when a colleague forwards it on to you; if that's you, then make sure you sign yourself up to keep up to date.        Have Your Say This month's request for your views comes from a member of our own community.    Jack Gilbert is a SEND teacher in Ealing who is doing his PGCE top up with the University of Nottingham. For his research project he is looking at the teaching of computing as a subject in special schools.   If you teach in a special school, can you, please, help him with his research by taking five minutes to complete an online questionnaire about computing in the curriculum? No matter to what degree it is (or is not) taught and regardless of whether or not you feel comfortable teaching it, Jack would like to hear your views. Complete The Survey       Registration is now open for the @SENShowUK 2021! LGfL are incredibly proud to be headline sponsors of the TES SEN Show. We’ll be there on 8-9 October 2021 at the Business Design Centre, London – and we can’t wait to see you. The Tes SEN Show is the UK’s leading show for the SEND community, packed with policy updates, essential best practice and top tips for bringing learning alive for pupils with SEND.

This poster and linked web page provide some simple, at a glance, tips for how to support learners who exhibit challenging behaviour.  Now more than ever, every one of us and our learners have a lot to deal with, so it's a time to show insight and understanding about what causes certain behaviours rather than simply trying to stamp them out with outdated ideologies and a system of punitive measures.    There are many great sources of information and support out there and we have included links to a number of them to get you started.   A big thank you to the teams at Waterside and Kings Oak Schools in Greenwich who are phenomenal leaders in supporting learners with challenging behaviour and took time to feedback and contribute to this resource.       Recent Blog Posts Stress Awareness Month 2021 – Supporting Teachers’ Emotional Health Keep well and always remember the IncludED service is here to support you.  Adam and the IncludED Team Join our growing community Sign up to LGfL Newsletters View our archive for previous newsletters here London Grid for Learning Trust a consortium of the London Local Authorities   A company limited by guarantee registered in England no 4205579 Reg charity no 1090412 © Copyright LGfL 2020 LGfL, 10 Exchange Square, Primrose Street, London EC2A 2BR Unsubscribe |
