As educators, the attitude with which we approach our work has considerable impact on the outcome for students. Our assumptions and expectations influence learning both positively and negatively.
This book adopts a compassionate acceptance that all children, no matter what they say, don't say, or do, are doing the best they can in that moment. It is in the adults' power, and their responsibility, to understand children and barriers they experience in their learning. By exploring neuroscience, psychology, and learning theory, we can increase our awareness of brain organisation and function to help us understand why a child isn't doing what we have asked. With understanding comes both our compassion and ability to support. The case studies and examples from the author's practice illustrate how we can learn from effective strategies for neurodivergent children to build insight into all pupils.
When we adopt a non‑judgemental and encouraging approach, we form positive collaborative relationships with children and their families that increase engagement with and enjoyment of learning and reduces our own frustration and stress. This book is valuable reading for all educators, equipping them with an understanding that allows them to work flexibly and creatively to meet the learning and emotional needs of all pupils.
