LearningShared: Online EfL SEND Community Event – Conference (ZOOM Meeting)
Date: Tue 29th June 2021
Time: 10am
Duration: 2 hrs
Theme: Mental Well Being – plans and possibilities (FREE Conference)
We’re delighted to invite you and/or any of your colleagues to our final EfL LearningShared SEND community event of the 2020/21 academic year…
This meeting will be co-hosted with Prof. Barry Carpenter CBE OBE FCCT and brings together national leaders in the field of mental health and well being alongside school-based practitioners for a 2 hour conference that we hope will inform, illuminate, and initiate your thinking about the new and needed learning opportunities for our children in the new academic year, and beyond.
Professor Carpenter writes…
“The pandemic period has witnessed a rapid erosion in the mental health of children. National figures are worrying, but as ever, as Teachers, we must ask ‘how does this affect children’s learning, and how can we remove barriers to achievement generated by issues such as anxiety, trauma and loss?”
Two major Curriculum initiatives from this September will enhance the foundations created, pre pandemic, of Mental Health Leads in school, Mental Heath First Aid Training, etc:
Firstly, for all children, the new DfE Relationships, Health and Sex Education (RHSE) Curriculum becomes statutory. With its clear focus on Mental Well Being and Relationships, these are perfect platforms for rebuilding each school’s curriculum on meaningful human values, with RSHE at its heart, … for teaching is a relationship based profession.
Secondly, for children with SEND, the implementation of the Rochford Review recommendations, not only brings the Engagement Model into play as statutory summative assessment, but sees a renewed emphasis on the 4 domains of SEND in the Code of Practice (2015) as the curriculum framework for children with an EHCP. As such Social, Emotional and Mental Health, (SEMH), is a vital platform for designing learning opportunities for children with EHCPs.
Evidence for Learning has a strong history of facilitating curriculum development, pedagogy, assessment and practice in the area of Mental Well Being (MWB) through a variety of strategies.“
Alongside Prof. Barry Carpenter, we’re excited to welcome to this conference, national leaders in the field – Dr Tina Rae, Sharon Gray, and Laura Purser – together with school based practitioners – Alison Wheeler, Alex Tomkins, Jeanette Scull, Jonah Stancombe and Tom Thatcher – for a rich and comprehensive collection of presentations and sharing of knowledge, ideas and practice that you are invited to take back to your own schools for your own discussions, planning and CPLD.
