Inclusive education in primary schools: supporting children with SEBD

Inclusive education in primary schools: supporting children with social, emotional and behaviour difficulties
Invitation to free Glasgow event

What is it?
Come and hear about this new resource and training to support children with SEBD in primary schools.

This is an extensive resource from Barnardo's, full of practical tools and including research evidence and a policy overview (see foot of email for more information). The resource is linked with training delivered to education managers and teachers. It was launched earlier this year by Peter Peacock MSP.

Feedback from pilots and from the launch has made clear the strong and unique contribution of this work.

How children experience education makes a difference to their outcomes in the short, medium and long term. For those with SEBD, adapting and behaving appropriately in school can be a particular challenge. For their teachers, managing this behaviour can be personally and professionally demanding.

This resource offers realistic advice and ready-to-use techniques based on Barnardo's work to support inclusive education for children with SEBD. It also raises questions about evidence and effectiveness that challenge all of us working in the field. It should be a valuable addition to any teacher’s ‘toolbox’ and to those involved in education planning.

  More about the resource
  The overall aims are to:
  
• Introduce the ideas of holistic, inclusive practice in education and the broad policies driving this area forward
  
• Provide tools and techniques for supporting children with behavioural difficulties in the classroom
  
• Show how many of these techniques can be used constructively for whole-class activities and how they are just as relevant in classes where there are no current problems
  
• Prompt readers, through direct questions and case studies, to consider how these techniques could be applied or adapted
  
• Promote research and evaluation to inform practice by citing broader evidence and highlighting gaps
