Great to see these ‘Five-a-day’ resources collated on a new EEF SEND webpage, for ease of use. If you’re a school or college leader looking to drive inclusive teaching practices in your setting, this is an excellent starting point. @EducEndowFoundn educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/education-evid…

‘No one wants scaffolding on the side of their house forever; no one wants their entire house covered in scaffolding if only one side of the house needs doing. Scaffolds should be temporary. Scaffolds should be targeted to the area of need of the pupil.’ @SENDMattersUK
“TA-led interventions can have real impact. To be done well, they will need to be targeted to an area of need, be time-limited and support access to classroom teaching.” @SENDmattersuk explores how to maximise the vital role of teaching assistants. eef.li/FCC8A2 1/2
