Leading on Inclusion Summary

Leading on Inclusion: The Role of the SENCO by Mhairi C. Beaton (Leeds Beckett University, UK)

This comprehensive resource provides a range of perspectives on inclusion, giving Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators (SENCOs) the opportunity to consider the principles and practice that underpin their leadership role.

Offering a blend of academic and professional knowledge, each chapter explores different aspects of the role of the SENCO and supports areas that will be considered as part of the National Award for SENCOs. A variety of essential topics are covered, from the importance of SEND provision and multi-disciplinary practice, to the role of the SENCO and leadership.

Key features of this book include:

  • Contributions by leaders of the National Award for Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators working with trainee SENCOs across the country

  • A focus on encouraging SENCOs to think deeply about their own individual practice through engagement with cutting-edge research

  • A flexible structure that can be read as a whole, or dipped in and out of as professional learning needs require

This book provides an opportunity for readers to engage with a multiplicity of voices and approaches, allowing them to critically explore their role as leaders of SEND provision in schools. It is an invaluable resource both for students and those already within the role of Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator.

Leading on Inclusion Reviews

This is a book which if you are a SENCO, or are thinking of becoming one, will re-energise or ignite the passion you have for inclusion, and your belief in the right of every young person to be offered the highest quality education provision possible, whatever their need. The book promotes the professional agency of readers, encourages critical engagement, and provides the evidence and knowledge needed for valid and valuable discussion. Every chapter has been written by either practitioners or academics who have 'been there,' and as such there is a feeling of authenticity throughout, with each author sharing their own priorities and views. It is a book which highlights not only the uniqueness of being a SENCO, but also the resilience, knowledge, skills, and commitment that individuals need to fulfil this role. It is an empowering read.

Dr Sue Soan, Senior Lecturer in SENI, Canterbury Christ Church University

This book provides a unique collection of chapters authored by contributors with a wealth of experience in the field of special educational needs and disability as practitioners, teachers and academics. They bring an authenticity of practice to their texts that is both personal and engaging and will speak to readers interested in making thoughtful, effective provision for learners who face barriers to their learning of various kinds. While focusing on the leadership role of the SENCO in schools in England, the chapters offer the opportunity to engage in reflection on a range of key aspects of the SENCo role from a very thoughtful, well-informed position. This book will provide a very useful resource for those preparing to become SENCos as well as those more experienced in the field.
