Securing the Good Life with Inclusive Education Online Works
Mon 7 Mar 2022, 9:00am - Fri 1 Apr 2022, 5:00pm
Self-directed online learning platform + live discussion forums
Learning and skills
When children with disability are included in a mainstream class in their local school, everyone benefits in the short and long term. But even in 2022, it can be difficult for our children with disability to be effectively included in the same school as their siblings, friends and neighbours.
Many families have found that it’s helpful to have a working knowledge of educational inclusion and to know what the school needs to provide to make inclusion possible. It’s also critical to know how to ask for these in a manner that strengthens the relationship between the school and the family.
Join us for this online workshop to explore some essential elements of truly inclusive education.
- What is inclusive education? Many people find it is not exactly what they understand it to be
- What 40+ years of research tells us about the benefits of inclusive education
- What supports work best in promoting good outcomes for all students
- Individual Learning Plans – what are they, and what does a good one look like?
- How to build and maintain collaborative partnerships with school staff – including tips for meetings
- The importance of friendships and social connections
- Student and family stories on their inclusive education experience
This workshop is suitable for families of students of all ages (primary, high school and secondary college). Families whose children haven’t yet started school will also find the workshop helpful.
>About the Workshop<
Over 12 weeks from Monday, 7 March until Monday, 30 May, you’ll have 24/7 access to the workshop in an easy-to-navigate online platform.
Each fortnight we’ll open a new Inclusive Education topic for you to explore. We will deliver the information through short videos, exercises, and other resources. You’ll work through these at your own pace.
At the end of the fortnight, we’ll invite you to join us for a live discussion forum in which all participants will have an opportunity to ask questions.
The workshop consists of:
- Six topics released fortnightly
- A fortnightly live discussion forum where you can ask questions, seek clarification, and meet with course facilitators and other participants.
This is a free workshop. Registrations are open until
