MSI Unit Curriculum - Sense

Victoria School: MSI Unit CurriculumForewordAs current Co-ordinator of the MSI Unit at Victoria I would like to pay tribute tothose who initially set up the Unit and to those whose support has sustained it.Their vision has enabled the practice embodied in this curriculum to develop. Wehave also been very fortunate in the commitment and insight of all the staff whohave worked with our pupils during the past 16 years.Heather has been connected with the Unit throughout its life. Her input intraining us and latterly working directly with our pupils has been a huge asset.Because we have developed a distinct way of working it has been somethingof a dream to write down ‘what we do’, ‘how we do it’ and ‘why we do it’. Thiswould never have become a reality without Heather’s offer to formalise our workinto the curriculum document we can share, which has now been achieved. It hasbeen a monumental task to which Heather has given months and months of herown time and skill.We now have a superb curriculum with which to support work with pupils withMSI; for this we owe Heather an immense debt of gratitude.Rosie McMinnMSI Unit Co-ordinatorAcknowledgementsWith thanks to all those who have contributed to the development of theVictoria School MSI Unit Curriculum, and especially to:Maz AslamCarla BartonVal BatesCarole BeirneAnne CartwrightWendy EdwardsRaga FahmiDonna GoddardMarie NortonKellie RandallJulie RogersSue TaylorKim ApplebyRachel AtkinsLisa CurtisJoan GrahamSandra KallitsakisNarinder KaurJo KeevesVicky KellyDoreen NorrisChris PascalLeona ReadNatalie RobertsLeanne BainesEileen BoothroydLorraine ClarkPatricia GibbonsWendy GodfreyMaggie HendrickseLiz HodgesJudith JamesWendy JonesWendy PallantCollette CamackRobbie Pearce4
