Abstract

This article describes how collaboration took place between a class teacher and a support teacher who had begun to trial in-class support for the first time. It outlines how a pro-active system for structured communication and planning for in-class support for children with special educational needs (SEN) was developed. A progression towards joint thinking is detailed. Findings about the impact of their modified collaborative practice on their approach to in-class support provision are discussed as well as the impact of collaboration upon the teachers themselves.
