Inclusivity -- Activity 2
What is inclusion?
Inclusive education is about looking at the ways our schools, classrooms, programs and lessons are designed so that all children can participate and learn. Inclusion is also about finding different ways of teaching so that classrooms actively involve all children. It also means finding ways to develop friendships, relationships and mutual respect between all children, and between children and teachers in the school.
Inclusive education is a way of thinking about how to be creative to make our schools a place where all children can participate. Creativity may mean teachers learning to teach in different ways or designing their lessons so that all children can be involved.
It says that:
All children can learn
All children attend age appropriate regular classrooms in their local schools
All children receive appropriate educational programs
All children receive a curriculum relevant to their needs
All children participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities
All children benefit from cooperation, collaboration among home, among school, among community
Why does inclusion matter?
Inclusive schooling can help all students learn to be aware, sensitive, and tolerant of differences. It helps them learn that all people have abilities and disabilities and that they need to work together to survive and be happy.
Who does it benefit?
Kids with disabilities
Friendships
Because students with disabilities (learning or physical) is less common than students without, they often don't make any friends because they're taught alone. Inclusivity helps them integrate with normal students.
Enhanced skill acquisition and generalisation
Increased inclusion in future environments

Increased social initiations, relationships and networks
Having peers to view as role models
Kids without disabilities
Increased appreciation and acceptance of individual differences
Increased understanding and acceptance of diversity
Respect for all people
All students needs are better met, greater resources for everyone
