4. Understanding inclusive education stakeholders

Now you have reached the end of Week 4 you should have a good understanding of what it means to work with others outside your school. You should know that this will depend on your context, your leadership role and your social capital. You should know that different stakeholders can contribute different knowledge to support a child and to build an inclusive school and that data can strengthen your argument for the need for extra support.

The next activity is to develop a mind relevant to your context, which will serve as a practical tool as you continue to work with colleagues to create an inclusive school.
