Teachers encouraged to help special educational needs pupils ‘Make Good Progress’ - Schools and teachers across England must adopt new educational techniques to make sure that every child reaches their potential highlighted one of the leading figures behind nasen, the national association for special educational needs. Lorraine Petersen, Chief Executive, issued the rallying cry at the organisation’s Summer conference and urged delegates to analyse teaching styles, develop long-term strategies and use the latest technology to ensure individuals achieve their goals. She also called for a more flexible assessment system to be introduced to inform future planning and classroom practice. “All schools are striving to ensure that every pupil makes good progress during their time in education. However, it needs to be acknowledged that not all children and young people will make the same amount of progress at any given time,” explained Lorraine.
