Activity 4.7 Action Planning

Activity 4.7 How this course has affected my view of inclusion 

Before this course, I used to think that some challenges faced by some students are beyond the teachers’ ability to manage, particularly in imparting knowledge into them. Every student can learn, but at different rates and the teacher’s skill must be developed to plan and deliver lessons to children at their individual or group rates of assimilation, without frustration on the part of the students and the teacher, and without discrimination or bias. Students with one form or disability can be supported to learn in regular schools by collaborating with other teachers, and involving specialists in the area of identified challenge when necessary. It takes more diligence, dedication and empathy to be able to effectively involve all students in learning, though this will happen gradually as there are no quick fixes to inclusive education.

 

What I will do differently in the future to make my teaching more learner-centred

I will make good use of the resource materials from TESSA and GATE which I have already  downloaded to guide me in planning my lessons to be learner-centred.

How this course has impacted my view of inclusion.

  • Like you Oluwafunmilayo, I use to think that some challenges faced by some students are beyond regular school teachers capability. By this I  thought that children with what I conceive to be " severe" learning difficulties,  visible disabilities belong in special needs school with  specialists trained to handle their situations. However, after interraction with this course and the solid feedback gain from  persons who share my profession, i have taken a total 360 degrees angles to becoming a better teacher. I have learnt concretely that children can learn and achieve in a learner centred  education system where the individual needs of the students are  met with carefully planning by all who teach.

What i will do differently  after gaining the wealth of Knowledge

There are a lot of things to do differently but i  am going to start with using those reflective questions .Enrol in COL OERs program to gain more knowledge and practice
