SEND Huh: curriculum conversations with SEND leaders Summary

SEND Huh: curriculum conversations with SEND leaders by Mary Myatt

Huh is the Egyptian god of endlessness, creativity, fertility and regeneration. He is the deity Mary Myatt and John Tomsett have adopted as their god of the curriculum. Their Huh series of books focuses on how practitioners design the curriculum for the young people in their schools.
The Huh project is founded on conversations with colleagues doing great work across the education sector. In SEND Huh, Mary Myatt and John Tomsett discuss curriculum provision for pupils with additional needs with some of the leading experts in the field.
Mary and John interviewed pupils, parents, teachers, headteachers, CEOs, educational consultants and lecturers. They then edited the transcriptions of those interviews to provide an ambitious, thoughtful, nuanced and challenging vision of what the best possible provision looks like for children with additional learning needs.
The challenging conversations that comprise SEND Huh paint an inspiring picture that is hugely hopeful for the future of SEND curriculum provision in our schools.

SEND Huh: curriculum conversations with SEND leaders Reviews

I simply adore this book. It rams home that being inclusive is not an excuse for low expectations. Instead of being an afterthought when it comes to curriculum, children with additional needs become drivers for what a well-rounded curriculum is for all young people. Curriculum decisions are about building and accelerating learning, and the years of the deficit model of SEND should be put to bed by one reading of this latest book in Myatt and Tomsett's powerful Huh series. * Vic Goddard, co-principal, Passmores Academy and CEO of Passmores Cooperative Learning Community *
SEND Huh weaves together a sophisticated and thoughtful narrative of lived experiences from a wide range of contributors from every corner of the sector. It's not often that a non-fiction book has such a profound effect on me. I found myself thinking about it days after, contemplating the nuance, mulling over the complexity, grappling with the challenges and acknowledging the rallying cry to ensure our pupils with additional needs receive an ambitious education that enables them to thrive. * Kathryn Morgan, senior capacity improvement advisor, TSHC *
There is something very special in education, and that is the care and clarity with which the contributors in SEND Huh speak about the young people in their communities, and the work they and their colleagues do to smash blunt blanket presumptions, remove obstacles and champion all children. The knowledge and wisdom of the contributors encourages us all to recognise that there is so much to learn about provision, practice, curriculum and attitudes towards supporting children with additional needs. We will all teach children who will need something additional or different; knowing what or how can often be a challenge. This book meets colleagues where they are in their journey of understanding the what and the how, and encourages us to look with fresh eyes at the research, the reality and the joyful rewards of teaching and learning from children with additional needs. * Emma Turner, deputy director of education, BDMAT *
