OM DENNE EPISODE
In this episode, we’ll be discussing some ideas for supporting children with Special Educational needs and suggestions for some non screen activities for the children.
Your host:
Simon Blower - Experienced Primary School leader and Co-founder of Pobble.com
Each week we are joined by a panel of educators and friends of Pobble who have given up their time to share ideas and help you, our teaching community.
This weeks panel:
Anna Whiteley - Parent, HLTA and Pobbler
Paul Tullock - Apple Distinguished Educator and Apple Professional Learning Specialist
Vinny Turner - Headteacher and parent
Sam Keys - Deputy Head and SENCO
Show notes.
In this episode we cover:
1) A weekly roundup - The panel will each share something that sparked their interest this week or something new they've tried at home or school.
2) SEN - A focus on children with special educational needs, what the panel's schools are doing and other ideas they've seen.
3) Non screen activities - There are lots of brilliant online tools and resources out there, but these are not always accessible. The panel discuss alternative activities and learning opportunities to keep kids busy and engaged whilst not using screens.
4) Teacher take aways - Teachers are great at sharing!
Each of the panel share one idea for fellow teachers and parents to take away from the show and use to support their practice.
