Abstract:
This paper addresses the Conference theme by discussing practical ways in which SENCOs enhance teachers’ skills, and how teachers reflect this support when addressing the needs of children with SEN in English Primary Schools. 18 teachers and 18 SENCOs – including a cross-section of those having multi-functional responsibilities – were interviewed. Key emergent themes include: SENCOs as ‘agents of change’; the difficulties of ensuring the balance between teachers’ over-reliance and under-utilisation of SENCOs’ remit; and the nature of interventions and provisions made for children with SEN in terms of the ‘usual’ support, versus that which is ‘over and above’ normal practice.
