Learning from Nurture Groups
Cooper, Paul
Education 3-13, v32 n3 p59-64, 72 2004
This paper deals with Nurture Groups, which are a specialist form of provision for pupils with social, emotional and learning difficulties. The paper outlines the theoretical underpinnings of the NG approach and describes the practical arrangements and operations features of this form of provision. Evidence from research studies exploring the effects of NG provision is reviewed, including findings from the first national study of this form of provision. The evidence presented forms the basis for the conclusion that NGs represent a very promising form of approach. (Contains 1 note.)
