SEND White Paper. Quick reassurance
The upcoming White Paper does not change the law. EHCP rights and the legal test for EHCNAs remain. After publication there will be long consultations and any legal changes would take years. Tribunals will keep applying the current law.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

School is built around weaknesses. Think about if a student does poor in math, that becomes the focus. They may be exceptional in reading, science, etc. but the focus is on the weakness.
If all the feedback is about what you are bad at, trying feels risky. Trying becomes another chance to point out failure. So students eventually shut down. When their weaknesses become the focus, which is often the case, then it is understandable why they hate school.
That is the flaw.
A weakness focused system teaches fear, not growth. It conditions students to believe ability is fixed and that mistakes are something to hide. Research on mindset shows that when students see ability as fixed, effort drops, persistence fades, and learning slows.
Now there is nothing wrong with improving weaknesses, but that shouldn't be the focus of education or life. Research says when we focus on our strengths we are exponentially more success than just fixing weaknesses.
But now let's compare that to a strengths based approach. When we focus on student's strengths and what they do well.
Then students experience success, which gives them confidence.
Confidence makes them willing to try new and harder things.
That willingness is where rigor actually comes from.
Rigor is not forcing difficulty on students who feel incapable. It is students choosing challenge because they believe they can handle it.
You do not get students to stretch by reminding them what they cannot do. You get there by helping them experience success first.
When we miss that, it is no mystery why so many students leave school defeated and done with school.
Let's focus on their strengths, so success gives them the confidence to reach their potential.

If this quote resonated with you, the book delves deeper into how we can stop lowering the bar and start rethinking what inclusion truly means.

‘Dyslexia’ is an umbrella term, and there are many difficulties that fall under dyslexia that are related. Those can include, memorizing math facts, handwriting, organization, and memory.

Developmental dyscalculia is a learning disability that affects the acquisition of knowledge about numbers and arithmetic.

"How do we support these children? That’s what we should be debating, not whether we
should identify them in the first place."

@BecMcQ makes a compelling argument for identification of additional support needs in this piece for @heraldscotland.
