Hi all,

I’m looking for recommendations for reading around assessment, specifically assessment practices in SEND, whether that be SEND within mainstream, hubs or special schools. Especially looking for material in pdf format but happy for other format too!
Thanks.

For a thing! (Pls RT for reach) #SEND Parents- what do you wish ECTs (Early Career Teachers) knew about SEND?

(And if you’re an #ECT- what questions about SEND do you have.
&
More experienced teachers- what do you wish they told you about SEND as an ECT?)
