Being included in a meaningful and intentional sense is often the key that can unlock access to education, learning and the maximising of potential for many children and young people. However, an increasing number of pupils have a variety of strengths that are only shown when they are intentionally included, and their needs are well met.
This book emphasises the key message that the adaptions we make to our daily practice are crucial for some but helpful for all. It provides the tools to unlock whole-school inclusion and ensure each child is given the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Chapters:
Provide practical, impactful ideas that are easy and cost-effective to action, designed to help primary schools make active inclusion a reality. Explore the development of a dynamic, evolving whole school inclusive ethos and environment that is responsive to SEN needs. Consider how we create inclusive classrooms through environmental design and adaptive high-quality teaching. Are broken down into clear areas of SEN support and contain a wealth of tools to support each area.
With self-evaluation tools to help readers identify and celebrate current successes and pinpoint next steps for improvement, this book is an essential resource for primary school teachers, SENCos and senior leaders who wish to ensure that their inclusive vision is embodied throughout their school.
