    First Published in 1999. Schools are increasingly responding to the challenge of resourcing special educational needs by employing a variety of support staff to help children with SEN access as much of the curriculum as possible. They may be qualified teachers, nursery nurses or therapists, unqualified learning support assistants or parent volunteers. The purpose of this book is to provide SENCOs and classroom teachers with a practical guide to managing and supporting their in-class support. Emphasis is put on defining the roles and responsibilities of support staff, developing partnership and establishing effective communication between the class teacher and the support worker. Photocopiable proformas and checklists are provided for INSET and to help schools plan and appraise the work of support staff.
