In this workshop we will explore INCLUSIVE STRATEGIES THAT CAN BE
INCORPORATED INTO THE CLASSROOM TO SUPPORT ALL STUDENTS, particularly
those with disability. These INCLUSIVE STRATEGIES PROMOTE EQUITY AND
SUPPORT ALL STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC GOALS.In this
workshop, participants will be introduced to:
* THE FOUNDATION FOR INCLUSIVE PRACTICE where participants will
explore the understanding of disability and whether this is viewed as
an outcome of social processes or the result of physical and/or
medical differences
* GROUP WORK, in the form of cooperative learning, to facilitate
inclusion. This approach is an evidence-based, highly structured,
constructivist approach to learning that involves students working as
a group to achieve a common educational or social goal that the
students find meaningful. This approach works for all year levels and
provides a framework to improving student learning by strengthening
classroom practice.
* PRE-TEACHING STRATEGIES with a focus on vocabulary, concepts,
social skills and cognitive strategies to support participation in
whole class lessons.
* HIGHLY STRUCTURED CLASSROOMS can be created through the use of
predictable routines and procedures. These need to be carefully
taught, modelled and established to assist students to know and
understand what is happening which therefore relieves anxiety.
* VISUAL CUES are a way of presenting information, often in pictorial
format, to simplify the message, making it easier to understand,
simplify abstract concepts and create a visual link to an idea and
provide nonverbal reminders to reduce the need for auditory input.
While visual supports are often utilised for children/ students with
disabilities, these teaching strategies should be used in every
centre/ classroom, at every level as part of the universal design for
learning (UDL).
* SUPPORTING TRANSITIONS through self-management tools empower
students to manage big emotions and tricky behaviour. These tools
provide students with insight into why they feel the way they do and
give them strategies to be self aware and self directed, thereby
reducing the load on the teacher.
