The SENCO Forum aims to continue to bring together a network of teachers working in inclusive/special education in Clare Primary schools. The network aims to provide professional learning, support, and networking opportunities for teachers. Margaret Egan, MIC, together with Karen Riordan, will facilitate the Clare network and will support the group’s development over time. If you are a Principal, Special Education Teacher, or SEN Co-Ordinator in a primary school in Clare and would like to find out more about the network, please join us.

Our next face-to-face meeting of the SENCO CoP for this academic year will focus on Spelling.  The title of this presentation is:
