Even with the best will in the world, no teacher will ever get through their NQT year without hitting a few stumbling blocks and trying to provide outstanding teaching for children with SEND can be one such challenge for the newly qualified.
This is why the University College London (UCL) Institute of Education and Swiss Cottage School Development and Research Centre undertook a project which looked at how best to prepare teachers for working with children with SEND to achieve effective inclusion.
The project was launched in response to concern among UK policy-makers that during initial teacher training (ITT) in the UK there is not enough emphasis on SEND. Consequently, this means that NQTs coming into the classroom are not always adequately equipped to address and meet the needs of children, particularly where an SEN may be present.
