5. Inclusive teaching

5.2. Everyone can do something – what can you do?

In this course, you are being encouraged to focus on ways in which all teachers can support a range of learners in the classroom. In the next activity, you have the opportunity to apply the minimum criteria to your own teaching.

Activity 3.5 Minimum criteria and learner-centred teaching

Allow approximately 30 minutes on each part of this activity

Part A
Look again at one of the clips from Activity 3.3. This time use the minimum criteria to analyse the inclusivity. You can watch the one you did not choose in Activity 3.3, or watch the same one again.

Part B
Now think again about a lesson you have taught or observed recently. Think about each of the criteria above and identify two or three ways in which you could have made the lesson more learner centred. Relate your analysis back to the reasons why learners might feel excluded and highlight what you would do to involve all students.

Choose your best idea and share it on the Week 3 forum. Also comment on two other posts.

In your responses, you perhaps suggested things like open questions that learners discuss in pairs, group work, using local resources or organising a role-play or a debate. Next week you will be introduced to resources that will help teachers plan classroom activities to actively engage learners.
