Individual Education Plans (IEPs)

Speech and Language

By: Janet Tod,Mike Blamires

First published in 1999. This book addresses the principles behind individual education plans for pupils who exhibit speech, language and communication difficulties. The authors provide practical advice for compiling education plans and ideas for institutional self-development, and discuss the key areas of concern for teachers: how can there be agreement on the targets when the pupil functions differently in different contexts? Should the aim for pupils be on accessing the curriculum or social communication? How can speech and language targets be met across a range of subject areas? Given that language is dynamic, can the static IEP document provide a feasible blue-print for action? Can the challenge of monitoring IEPs for speech and language targets be realistically met? To what extent can teachers deliver specialist strategies to meet IEP targets in the absence of speech therapy support? How can new developments in IT support IEP delivery for students with speech, language and communication difficulties?

Individual Education Plans Implementing Effective Practice

By: Janet Tod,Francis Castle,Mike Blamires

First Published in 1998. This book is part of a series of books on individual education plans (IEPs), each focused on a specific aspect of special educational needs (SEN) and intended to support effective practices in mainstream schools working to make their provision inclusive. This book has attempted to put forward a case for IEPs as part of a school’s ‘inclusive and effective practice’ for the diversity of its pupils and the requirements of the 1994 Code of Practice. Further DfEE guidance on IEPs is planned to support the revised Code and it is the authors' intention that this book will support schools in developing and evaluating any improvements they make to their existing IEP procedures.

Seems Like a Nice Boy

The Story of Larry Grayson's Rise to Stardom

By: Mike Malyon

The name Larry Grayson will be instantly recognisable to anyone who can remember the 1970s when his catchphrase ‘Shut That Door' was on everybody's lips. However, Larry’s rise to fame was slow in coming, born of years of perfecting his craft in clubs and theatres across the country. This biography details Larry’s early life, how he was handed over as a baby to a miner's family in mysterious circumstances and brought up by his beloved foster sister, Flo, who was to become his lifelong companion. As a boy, encouraged by Flo, Larry would perform comedy routines for his school chums, standing on a tin bath in a wash-house yard, and he took his first steps into showbiz as a teenager with a local concert party. Seems Like a Nice Boy describes how, after a long career, Larry was eventually spotted by a top agent and set on the road to stardom, not only on stage but on television. Larry went on to host The Generation Game, attracting weekly audiences of around twenty million viewers and bringing Larry the kind of fame that he had always dreamed of. This fascinating book reveals how Larry Grayson’s determination to succeed turned him into one of Britain’s best-loved entertainers. This is a must-have read for Larry Grayson fans and anyone who enjoys classic comedy from a bygone age.

The Day My Dream Ended

The Autobiography of Jimmy Holmes

By: Jimmy Holmes,Mike Malyon

As a child, growing up Dublin, Jimmy Holmes dreamed of becoming a professional footballer. Spotted in the local youth team by the great Matt Busby and invited to go to Manchester United, he was persuaded, instead, to sign for Coventry City, heralding the start of a glittering career in football. The young Jimmy had it all ahead of him, or so he believed, but just a few years later, a serious injury brought an abrupt end to his dreams. In this frank autobiography, Jimmy reveals how he endured years of heartache and disappointment following the accident as he struggled to come to terms with the fact that his time as a First Division footballer was over. From being highly sought after, representing the Republic of Ireland and playing top flight football, Jimmy suddenly found himself looking for ways to continue in the game he loved, before pursuing a new career in the police force. With forewords by Glenn Hoddle and Johnny Giles, The Day My Dream Ended tells the compelling story of Jimmy's meteoric rise to the top of his game and beyond, and the untimely end of one of the most promising football careers of his generation.

The Quest of the Celtic Mysteries

Awen

The Quest of the Celtic Mysteries

By: Mike Harris

It was the Celtic bards who laid down the foundation of inner wisdom that has come down to us as Arthurian legend, passing their traditions to the Arthurian romancers of the 12th and 13th centuries. Thus the Celts provide an immediate bridge that leads to a very ancient world. Focusing on the Brythonic Celtic material and the "Taliesin" cult whose lineage preserved the mysteries through the Mabinogion and other texts, Awen: the Quest of the Celtic Mysteries reveals the sources of the British sacred tradition right back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, and, as some believe, further back still to even more ancient sources. Awen is a Welsh word often translated as "inspiration". However, in its fullness it has a much deeper meaning, an irradiation of the soul from paradisal origins. In the context of the Celtic folk-soul it casts the paradisal pattern by which the people and the land were harmonised. Through the aligned symbolism of the goddess, the sacred king and the stars, a compelling picture is built of a thriving mystery tradition which marries the constellations to the landscape, exploring as an example the interwoven five-fold and seven-fold stellar geometry of Moel ty Uchaf stone circle in North Wales, and the stellar alignments on the landscape of Cadair Idris.
