Today I did my first workshop with some teachers at a local school. It was a very brief introduction t a very broad topic -- differentiation. I touched on techniques that can be done in class and as preparation. We looked at differentiating for weaker and stronger learners..... Often both groups can become difficult to manage, but for different reasons.
The comments I had were, in the main, positive. The few negatives focused on differentiation being extra work. It is, but there are ways of reducing the work by incorporating the principles of differentiation into your prep.
I look forward to offering more workshops to more schools in the future.

SEN Forum for Change
I have recently been touched by discussions with teachers and parents regarding the discrepancy between the Special Needs Provision available, and what is needed. I have set up a forum for parents and teachers with the aim of working with as many stakeholders as possible in order to bring about positive changes to SEN provision.
