Provision mapping2012

"This highly practical book contains all the guidance and resources a school will need in order to implement an efficient and effective system of pupil progress tracking and evaluative Provision Mapping. It is a tried and tested system that has been shown to improve outcomes for all pupils, including those with SEN, and sits at the very heart of school self-evaluation. Throughout this book, teachers will find achievable solutions to the problems schools face in trying to ensure that their practice results in all pupils making good progress. Anne Massey has adapted the existing government-produced Provision Mapping system and developed it into a more evaluative framework that links a number of school improvement actions together. All the recommendations in this book: - have been tried and tested in Primary schools, Special schools and PRUs; - will result in a reduction in bureaucracy and paperwork for SENCOs; - will provide an enhanced understanding of inclusion by teachers; - foster an improved understanding of 'value for money'. As a result of implementing a more efficient Provision Mapping system, better communication will be achieved within the school, with parents and with Local Education Authorities. Senior managers, leadership teams, SENCOs and other educational professionals will find the guidance and support provided by this toolkit invaluable. Provision Mapping will also be of value to those studying the more SEN-specific postgraduate diplomas or Masters level qualifications"--
