Beyond the Label

<p>Beyond the Label is a beautifully written book presenting the reader with candid pictures of the structure and messiness of what it is to teach and to learn in a school where pupils have as much to teach teachers as they have to learn themselves.</p><p> The assembled stories and thoughts mix the triumphs and mis-steps that come with teaching young people whose honesty and truths at times may feel bruising. Anne M Scriven demonstrates throughout the book the positive outcomes that can be achieved when teachers are willing to co-produce learning and teaching with their pupils. </p><p>Anne writes with a passion about pupil and teacher identity the barriers there are to accepting that those with additional support needs are different not less and making sure that Scottish heritage plays a significant part in the curriculum.</p><p><br></p><p>Laura Watkins Fellow of the Institute of Directors </p><p>CEO of The Donaldson Trust National Body for Neurodiversity.</p><p><br></p>
