A fantastic, hugely supportive book that, as the title suggests, doesn't just help you become a great SENDCO, but one who leads with clarity, confidence and strategic intent. Kenny Wheeler brings the role into sharp focus, offering practical tools, opportunities for reflection and real-world insight that empower SENDCOs to shape systems, not just survive them.
