We answer questions, such as:

• What are the best ways to promote inclusive environments and cultures where all learners can thrive?

• For students experiencing barriers to learning, should they be included in a typical learning environment, or is it better to support them with targeted withdrawal interventions?

We answered questions, such as:

• How do we identify more able students?

• What should we do if a more able student’s CAT4 test shows a verbal deficit, or their attainment and ability scores don’t match up?

• How can we best challenge and support gifted students?
