CIRCLE Resource
As a course of best practice and before jumping to any conclusions on additional support or specific interventions it is important to consider our own practice (skills), structure and routines, environment and motivations that might be impacting on a learners ability to thrive. The CIRCLE resource has been developed to ensure that these factors have been considered before greater intervention is considered.

Educational Psychologist - Jen Sutherland
Educational Psychologist - Jen Sutherland
The role of our educational psychologist is multi faceted but main tasks include:
Problem Solving - Pupil disengagement, literacy/numeracy/global learning difficulties, behavioural challenges, etc.
Additional Support Identification - Although no conclusive diagnosis would ever be given Educational Psychology would pose questions, challenge thinking, consider alternatives, create tasks to help with the journey towards any identification of a learning/behavioural need.
The Educational Psychologist has three meetings that she can be part of:
Child's Planning Meeting (CPM) - See below for more information. This meeting is common for meeting learners that have a variety of needs with involvement from all professionals and parents.
Professional Consultation - Professionals only meeting that discusses specific children although they remain anonymous at all times.
Formal Consultation - The educational psychologist chairs this meeting to try and tackle a specific problem/challenge that has been identified. Parents and involved professionals would always be invited to participate.
Formal Follow-up Consultation - To review the agreed actions impact and identify next steps if required.
