[SENco-forum] FW: Media: Real Story: The Teacher Squad (BBC1, 7pm, 13 Dec)

I watched Real Story on the BBC website.
What I want to know is : Where are the support assistants at the school?
Don't any of the pupils have statements?
Does the Senco's job at this school consist entirely of teaching lower band
classes?

I can't really believe the teaching shown on the programme was a
representative sample.

I somehow think the programme didn't give the full picture.

I'm not surprised that all the behaviour problems were not solved during the
intervention.

If anything what has come out of the programme is:
1) There are no magic pills!
2) Multi sensory teaching programmes work.
3) They increase the workload of teachers (initially anyway)
4) There is more to improving the behaviour of children with specific
learning difficulties than improving literacy skills.
5) Teachers resent so called experts coming into school and telling them how
to do their jobs!

Basically --nothing new!
