Inclusive teaching requires practice and careful planning. In this section you have been introduced to some key principles and concepts that will help you to develop as an inclusive practitioner and to help others do so. In the final activity below, you will watch a film taken in South Africa. This teacher has four learners with ADHD. This is an invisible condition in that the children have no obvious physical issues, but they find it difficult to concentrate and can get frustrated very easily.
The teacher in the film refers to the fact that she collaborates with colleagues to help her support these children (Wave 2 in the model), but as you will see from the film, there is also a great deal that she can do on her own in her classroom to support the learning of these children.
