Ensemble vers une école inclusive
Bienvenue dans le cours Ensemble vers une école inclusive. Ce cours met en évidence les caractéristiques d'une école inclusive. Il prend comme point de départ le fait que l'enseignement inclusif est la responsabilité de tou.te.s les enseignant.e.s, et pas seulement de celles et ceux qui ont bénéficié d’une formation spéciale, et s'appuie largement sur le " modèle par vagues " de l'UNICEF pour l'éducation inclusive. Il s'appuie sur le cours Enseignement et apprentissage inclusifs et se concentre sur la "vague 2" du modèle d'intervention par vagues, en aidant les participant.e.s à développer des attitudes, des systèmes et des processus qui soutiennent une approche collaborative de l'inclusion.Le cours est axé sur la pratique et la réalisation de tâches, ce qui permet aux participant.e.s d'appliquer de nouveaux concepts à leur propre enseignement et de réfléchir à leur pratique avec d'autres participant.e.s. Les tâches sont largement basées sur l’expérimentation, productives et collaboratives, bien qu'il soit possible d'assimiler les nouveaux apprentissages et d'appliquer les idées exposées à des situations concrètes.Le cours s'adresse aux chef.fe.s d'établissements, aux enseignant.e.s du primaire ou du secondaire, ainsi qu'aux formateurs et formatrices d'enseignant.e.s dans les écoles normales ou les universités, ainsi qu’aux encadreur.e.s pédagogiques en charge de la formation professionnelle continue des enseignant.e.s en exercice. Pour suivre ce cours dans les meilleures conditions, Il est préférable d'avoir étudié au préalable le cours Apprentissage et enseignement inclusifs qui s’appuie sur la vague 1 du modèle d'intervention par vagues de l’UNICEF.
