Working with experienced education professionals, explore the policies and philosophies of inclusion in relation to special educational needs and wider inclusion groups.
The course begins with a discussion about how the term ‘inclusion’ can be interpreted. You will explore policies and philosophies of inclusion in relation to both special educational needs and special provision, as well as theories of social justice and equality for all students.
We will consider how to evaluate and develop policy and practices in individual educational institutions, and analyse how far current educational contexts of performativity and highstakes accountability may affect developments in inclusionary thinking and practice.
