Highlights from the UK education sector 7 VIEWS
With authors Louise and Noam Lederman, and Patrick Hayes, Director at BESA
Dear Reader,
Welcome to the latest issue of Education Today. Following on from last month’s look at pedagogy, this month we look in depth in our Feature Focus articles at CPD, in the first hearing from Denise Inwood at BlueSky how teachers and SLTs can utilise the time set aside for this important activity effectively and get the most out of the sessions. In our SEND feature, we talk to Pippa Bruckland at Milton Keynes College, and find out how the college is working with students with disabilities, including autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, global delay and moderate learning difficulties to help them obtain, and remain in, employment.
We have our regular contributors as always offering insight and advice, as well as a great roster of commenters as usual sharing their thoughts on the world of education.
We continue our section on UK education writers, “From the pen of…”, this month with Louise and Noam Lederman, authors of the Jungle Jams book series. We continue our section on recruitment with some great jobs for you this month, so if you’re looking for a new role, or wish to advertise a vacancy, do make sure you get in touch.
Remember, you can get in touch with us via Twitter @EdTodayMag, Facebook and our homepage, as well as by phone or email. We love hearing from you!
Enjoy the issue! Jonathan Swift - Managing Editor
