SEN Policy Options Seminar - Personalisation

SEN Policy Options Seminar - Personalisation and special educational needs

June 23 1.30 for 2-5pm

National Children Bureau, 8 Wakley St, London

The aims of the seminar are to examine the meaning and significance of personalisation for special needs and inclusive education.

Papers will be presented by:

- Professor Judy Sebba, University of Sussex
- Alison Peacock, Head teacher WroxHam School Potters Bar, Herts
- Armando DiFinizio, Principal, Bristol Brunel Academy
- Martin Johnson, Deputy General Secretary, ATL

We plan to examine these and other related questions:
• personalisation in the context of teachers' 21 Century roles – what is the balance between information dispenser and learning promoter in the information age?
• what does this balance imply practically for the way schools operate - and the concept of the school?
• how does personalisation relate to 'schooling' at different age phases?
• how will personalisation work out in the context of 'integrated services' ?
• how do IEPs relate to personalization?
• how might personalization influence concepts of SEN and inclusive education?
