Teachers are now legally required to provide effective education for the ‘more difficult‐to‐teach’ children, and both the 1994 Code of Practice and the DfE circulars on Pupils with Problems stress ‘teacher enablement’ as an element in whole‐school development policies. Gerda Hanko, author and SEN staff development tutor, examines the kind of in‐service provision appropriate to the needs of ‘discouraged children’, who are not motivated by praise.
