This week made me think about how important it is to believe that every learner can make progress, even if they learn in different ways or at different speeds. I particularly liked the idea of adapting activities instead of simply expecting every learner to do exactly the same thing. Small changes in instructions, materials, grouping or the amount of support can make a big difference.

It also made me question my own teaching. Sometimes, when an activity does not work well, is the problem really the learner, or should I look at the way I planned and presented the activity? I think this is an important question for teachers because inclusion also requires us to be flexible and willing to change our approach. How much should we adapt a lesson before we feel that we are changing the original learning objective too much?
