Including all students in grade-level curriculum with TQI

Equitable access to grade-level academic curriculum is a cornerstone of inclusive education. When students with disability, including those with complex learning profiles, are included in regular curriculum opportunities alongside same-aged peers it leads to increased academic, social and post-school outcomes. However, the implementation of inclusive curriculum provision often poses practical challenges. There can be uncertainty regarding how to plan for and provide grade-level curriculum in a way that responds to the diverse requirements of students whilst maintaining academic rigour and progress in learning for all.

This presentation provides parents and educators with essential insights into inclusive curriculum design. Participants will gain knowledge about the curriculum and the range of possible strategies and personalised approaches that support all students to access grade-level learning. This will include practical, actionable strategies for implementation through exploration of the Inclusive Academic Curriculum Framework (IACF).

Topics covered include:

- Understanding what it means to provide meaningful opportunities to learn
- Overview of research supporting grade-level curriculum access and participation
- Exploring the elements of inclusive curriculum provision
- Understanding the Australian Curriculum (and its state-based iterations) and how it applies to inclusive curriculum
provision
- Introducing the Inclusive Academic Curriculum Framework (IACF)
- Working with the IACF to plan accessible grade-level academic curriculum for all students
