EDF5656 Practising inclusion

This unit builds on students’ foundational understanding of inclusive education by focusing on how inclusion is enacted through planning, teaching and assessment in real school contexts. You will begin by examining how curriculum, assessment practices, pedagogy and school structures can create barriers to participation for students with disability and those experiencing intersectional disadvantage, and consider how these barriers can be identified and designed using universal design principles with specific reference to the design of assessment tasks. You will then be introduced to the core components of the multi-tiered system of supports framework, learning to collect and interpret robust screening data and develop personalised learning and support plans that align instruction and intervention across tiers. You will learn key skills regarding the development, implementation and review of multi-tiered plans including authentic consultation with students and families, collaboration with other professionals, and ensuring support is targeted with precision to enable all students to receive what they need to make progress at school.
