School policy and practice Sample Clauses

School policy and practice. Xxxxxxx and XxXxxxxx (2007) question whether the values underpinning pupil voice will be consistent with the values of the school and other activities on its agenda. They mention a tendency for schools to speak the rhetoric of pupil voice but to exhibit contrary practice, leading to tokenistic PV that serves adult agendas without benefitting the child. The data support these concerns. School X policy says: “Pupils with SEND often have a unique knowledge of their own needs and circumstances, and their own views about what sort of support they would like to help them make the most of their education. They will be encouraged to participate in the decision-making processes including the setting of learning targets and contributing to reviews.” This unique knowledge could be elicited using pupil voice (Freire, 1970) and used to improve pedagogy (Xxxxxxx and XxXxxxxx, 2007; Xxxxxxx, 2008) and intervention design and delivery (MacBeath et al, 2003). Teacher and learner could alternate roles as they both hold mutually beneficial knowledge (Freire, 1970; Malaguzzi in Xxxxx, 2012). This dynamic exchange requires the acceptance of power-sharing in teaching and learning (Freire, 1970; MacBeath et al, 2003; Malaguzzi in Xxxxx, 2012; Xxxxxxx, 2018). By failing to tap into this unique resource, the full potential of intervention goes unrealised. Against the backdrop of School X policy, participants from School X have stated that due to the constraints, the focus pupils had no input in decisions on the design of their intervention or the creation of their IEPs. Regarding pupils with SEND having unique knowledge of their needs and circumstances, again, this resource appears to go untapped as the focus pupils, due to age or disability, are perceived incapable of making meaningful contribution. School X policy also states: “Any children (with or without special educational needs) who are not making adequate progress are targeted and appropriate interventions are put in place … Any interventions, which are carried out to support a child, are carefully tracked and monitored to ensure that they are having a positive impact.” It is unclear how the appropriateness of interventions is evaluated as the data shows retrospective rather than ongoing evaluation, focused on performance. The policy continues: “… pupils with SEND are involved, where possible and reasonable, in the decision-making processes regarding their own learning…” The operational words here are “where possible and r...
