Wright outlines a fair discussion about critical thinking intending to guide the teacher to help children to ‘think through situations where the answer is in doubt’ (2002, p.9). Throughout this chapter Wright pioneers critical thinking has a ‘practical value’ for social education, that it could help children grasp subject content in a profound and meaningful way. Examples of how to teach critical thinking are included throughout this chapter however, the lessons overlook other views of critical thinking as a process of developing skills and sub-skills. Wright (2011) generalises that critical thinking involves questioning from the higher end of the cognitive domain according to Blooms Taxonomy; ‘analyses, synthesis and evaluation’ (2002, p51).

I believe that all children are individuals, unique in their abilities, from a wide diversity of backgrounds and cultures, and they also have the right to be treated with dignity and respect.

This assignment aims to highlight which theories have influenced my practice in order to improve the learning of one child in my class with a Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND). First I will write a brief account about the historical development of identifying and supporting children with SEND. Then I will describe the SEN policy in School X and how I have observed it in practice. Following this will be a brief literature of Global Development Delay from diagnosis to the ways in which professionals recommend the learning of children with Global Development Delay can be improved. A pen portrait of the Student (Student B) who has formed the focus on my study will follow.
