SENCo Support

Concern Assess Provide - CAP It All! is another of our practical, ‘no frills’ resources for busy SENCOs, Learning Support Coordinators and Inclusion Managers.

The book is designed to aid the process of identification and assessment of pupils who have been referred by class teachers because of their lack of progress in the classroom.

Early and Earliest - It is not always necessary, and certainly not always possible, to refer a pupil on to another professional for diagnosis and advice. Starting the process of evidence gathering early can be very effective, and may even produce the desired improvement as time and thinking is devoted to the pupil.

The CAP It All! resources promote a problem solving approach to helping pupils causing concern. The process encourages a collaborative approach as colleagues to work better understand individual learning needs. Early and earliest identification can save time, resources and help to lower stress levels all round!

This pack of materials has been used and developed since the introduction of the Code of Practice in 1994. It has stood the test of time and been used by SENCOs, senior managers and governors in many different schools and settings, across the whole age range, both in the UK and abroad.

This set of photocopiable resources has been updated to reflect current developments. Even though there is uncertainty about the detail of the new Codes of Practice, the key task of monitoring and evaluating the impact of a school’s work for SEN remains as important and necessary as ever.

The work to complete these audit tools needs to be planned for over a realistic period of time, but once completed the information gathered will enable the SENCO, the school and the governing body to really feel on top of the SEN policy.These materials are not an end in themselves, they have been designed to demonstrate effectiveness, to support quality planning and to accurately reflect the school’s commitment to their children and families. Above all else, the aim is to release teachers’ time and effort for the job they do best - teaching and working with pupils.

Over 300 practical ideas that really work! Useful for both new and experienced SENCos.

Over 30 individually presented sheets covering the most common conditions, disorders, impairments and syndromes.

Ideal for INSET and quick reference.

"What I hope this short guide will do is to give learning support assistants and class teachers who are unfamiliar with Downs Syndrome a few strategies to try out that I know can work"
