Speech, language and communication - How well do you know your pupils? – And the impact of not knowing them!
Ofsted’s Education Inspection Framework emphasizes the importance of “leaders and teachers having a deep understanding of the pupils they teach” — including their starting points, needs, and learning barriers. Yet many pupils’ speech, language and communication needs remain unidentified in primary and at secondary age. How can these needs be addressed if they are not understood and do we run the risk of dealing with presenting behaviours rather than underlying causes?
