Week 4: Working with communities, families and stakeholders
5. Bringing it all together
This final section of the course, provides the opportunity for you to reflect on your learning and to consider how you will build on what you have learnt. The introductory video suggested that these two courses (Inclusive Teaching and Learning and Creating an Inclusive School) are intended to start you on a journey of professional development and to provide tools that you can use now and in the future to improve your practice whether you are a classroom teacher, head teacher, teacher educator, or have some other role within the sector.
Activity 4.9: How inclusive is this course?You are advised to spend 15 mins on this activity You would expect a course about ‘inclusive education’ to be inclusive in its design. Reflect on your experience of studying this course and ‘Inclusive teaching and learning’ (if you did it). In what ways has the learning design modelled inclusive practices? |
Activity 4.10: End of course assessment - Bringing it all togetherYou are advised to spend 20 mins on this activity Look back through the notes that you have made whilst completing the activities in this course, and highlight some of the key points. On the Week 4 forum, tell us two things that you will take forward from this course into your practice. Try to provide detail. For example: ‘I have learnt how to create a positive ethos in my classroom’ could mean many things. It would be good to know how you will actually do this. ‘I intend to create a buddy system in my classroom so that learners who experience difficulties are supported’ or, ‘I will use the Key Resources from the COL website to increase the range of teaching approaches that I use’. |
Please confirm you have completed this activity and contributed to the forum.
