When you make the decision to work in education, you become a guardian of dreams.
If that sounds grand, then it is. It’s a dizzying responsibility. My school educates secondary-aged pupils with SEN. All have moderate to severe learning difficulties, often with autistic spectrum disorders, language, emotional, sensory and physical needs alongside. All of these students, and their families, have dreams. It is our job to help them to achieve these dreams.
Two of my former students are heading to university this year. When they joined a special school at 11, this was an almost unimaginable goal. That’s the magic of working in special education – you never know what you can dare to dream.
