Independent Thinking on Being a SENDCO

Ginny Bootman is an experienced teacher and SENCO with responsibility for four primary schools, as well as a regular speaker at national SEN conferences. She is passionate about the impact of relationships within education, particularly for those working with children with additional needs, and is determined to improve understanding of the pivotal role that these relationships play within the school environment.

What a great book! I am not a SENDCO but I found that reading this enabled me to develop the empathy that Ginny mentions so many times for those in that role. I really loved the layout of the book - 113 tips - as it enables the reader to dip in at any point. The tips are quick, easy reads and cover everything. This is a great book for those considering being a SENDCO and also for those in the role already. It is also a great book to have on the staff-room bookshelf so that others can read it and understand the multifaceted nature of the role and just what being a SENDCO entails.Toria Bono
