Act. 1.2 What makes an inclusive school

The two important feature for me according to the talk by Daniel and Lydia are;

1. The teachers and the administrators attitudes. For it appears the administrator and the teachers are on the same page. They seem not be very responsible to make the school inclusive. You can tell from their ways of teaching. They have the business-as-usual type of behaviour. Not much effort is done to make the school inclusive.

2. The physical environment. The school still has the unusable steps for wheelchairs and people using walking canes. In this century it is very worrisome for learners who have challenges in mobility. I think there is need to have a deliberate effort to come up with a committee responsible to push for favourable physical environment for everybody at a school.

Activity 1.2 what makes an inclusive school

Henderson your post explains very well some issues and challenges we might face in inclusive schools. I like how Daniel highlighted soft things meaning everything starts with a positive attitude and culture.He talked about professional and training that can help teachers achieve their curriculum.Lydia spoke about collaboration,both policies and actions should reflect inclusion. Lydia was very vocal about the school validating an inclusive school is for you,by creating self-esteem in the learners.
