Fw: [senco-forum] Re: The new term

 Briony asks 'What are you looking forward to getting your teeth into this
 year?'

 In the light of the House of Commons Committee report on special
educational
 needs and their recommendations about:

 ~ the important role of SENCos ,

 ~ all schools prioritising attention to the Every Child Matters 5 Outcomes:
 for children to be healthy, safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive
 contribution, and  achieve economic well-being,

 I'm wondering how far SENCos have been able to encourage their schools to
 see these as  positive and valued objectives - rather than just the
 competitive  'Standards Agenda'?
