I move amendment No. 76:

In page 10, line 21, after "teacher" to insert "or teachers".

I have moved this simple amendment in order to be helpful. It would allow for more than one teacher to be selected by the principal to be involved in the assessment of a child. It is necessary because many children with special needs are taught by more than one teacher. The amendment would also allow the assessment work to be shared by teachers. It makes common sense in that more than one teacher is involved in such situations. It would strengthen the Bill by introducing best practice in this area.
