🎙️ S2 E8: Supporting Every Learner with Lorraine Petersen
In this thoughtful and empowering episode, we’re joined by SEND specialist and inclusion advocate Lorraine Petersen to talk about what truly inclusive education looks like in today’s schools. With decades of experience supporting children, families, and educators, Lorraine shares practical insights, compassionate advice, and a clear vision for how we can better meet the needs of learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
We explore the realities teachers face, the importance of strong school–family partnerships, and how small changes in practice can make a big difference to a child’s confidence, independence, and success. This episode is full of reassurance, expertise, and actionable ideas for anyone working to create classrooms where every child feels seen, supported, and valued.
✨ In this episode, we explore:
- What meaningful inclusion looks like in everyday classroom practice
- Supporting children with SEND without overwhelm
- Working positively with parents and carers
- Building confidence and independence in learners with additional needs
- Bridging the gap between policy and real classroom life
A must-listen for educators, school leaders, and anyone passionate about making education more inclusive, compassionate, and effective for all children.
