Unit description
Inclusion is an often-stated aspiration for contemporary schools, leading and developing Inclusive Education in a range of unique contexts poses a complex professional challenge for teachers and school leaders. An informed and nuanced understanding of core concepts, theoretical frameworks and implications of legislation and policy is needed to support decision-making and professional practice that provides genuine and authentic opportunities for all students to learn in a regular school setting. This unit engages students in critical reflection about about inclusion, critical disability perspectives, difference and diversity, and pedagogy and policy to support Inclusive Education. Students will draw on this critical review to define and justify an individual philosophy of Inclusive Education, and to identify and plan for action on strategic priorities to advance the cause of inclusion in school settings.
