Title
Raising Achievement in Schools
Description
Simon Midgley started this site as a way of passing on some of the ideas, strategies and lessons he learned whilst working as a learning support teacher in UK schools.
During the 1980s, he worked in a mainstream teaching role with students most of whom had a first language which was not English. In this role he developed ways of encouraging students' spoken and written English, particularly by using the then emerging information technology. Language, its role and use, was a key feature of all lessons.
Through the 1990s he worked in a support teacher role in schools where he was able to pass on some of the experience he'd gained in raising students' achievement through careful consideration of the way language was being used in the classroom. Initially he worked with Lancashire's Ethnic Minority Achievement service, and then as part of a specific learning difficulties (SpLD) team working with dyslexic students.
