SEND Leadership completes the ‘Essential SENCO Toolkit’ trilogy and provides SENCOs and SEN practitioners with the guidance and tools needed to aid their leadership and quality assurance (QA) roles.

The book explores the intent, implementation, and impact of SEND systems, preparing the reader for purposeful monitoring and accountability. It empowers educators to think strategically and to define, refine and action their aspirations for leadership.

Key features include:



An introduction to the 7Ds of Leadership – deliberate, dynamic, daring, dutiful, doable, developmental, and distributive – which when combined with the 7 Cs and Ps from the previous two books, places CPD at the heart of effective SEND leadership.
An extensive SEND QA toolkit, leadership self-evaluation tools, and an annual strategic planner.
A SEND review audit framework with a portfolio of evidence and toolkit of materials including interview and observation schedules and questionnaires.
An A-Z of adaptive teaching approaches.
Case studies and testimonials from colleagues implementing the strengths-based language of the 7 Cs learning portfolio.

SEND Leadership can be read alongside SEND Assessment and SEND Intervention, or as a stand-alone resource, and supports SENCOs in their day-to-day roles. It will be a vital tool for SENCOs, teachers, TAs, governors and anyone else interested in providing effective SEN provision in educational settings.
