2.2 Policies for an inclusive ethos and culture

For a school that you know, select one of the points above and describe a policy that is in place

Point #2: The support that teachers will provide in the classroom

I know of a school where the teachers use the policy of team teaching. The teachers that are great in particular subject areas switch classes during the day and go to different classes to teach the students. The use of differentiated instruction is used, especially with students with reading challenges. Hands-on activities are implemented in every class and peer tutoring is encouraged as well. Students are grouped and work at different pace during the session.

I agree Alicia, the support that teachers provide is critical in an inclusive school. One of the policies in a school I worked in - reduced the teacher child ratio in the class that the child with special needs was present in. In addition, informal daily and weekly formal peer reviews were done to provide extra support to the teacher in planning for the child's special needs. The teacher also kept regular records on the child and had planned parent / teacher meetings to encourage collaboration, this was welcomed by the parents as they wanted to know of strategies that were being used and how they can include these in the home.
