The most common metaphor we hear at Real Schools is that teaching these days is like spinning plates – there’s just so much to do! And while we all know that good work, like teaching, probably should be taxing – there’s something making the job of keeping those plates intact harder than ever before.
It’s diversity. It’s one thing to implement a program or even to just teach well with a homogenous class – but that class just doesn’t exist any more. Increasingly, your students are arriving with ESL backgrounds, with the effects of trauma, with ASD traits, with other behavioural challenges and with learning difficulties.
While we know inclusivity matters – the challenge is HOW, given the immense challenge of student diversity.Meeting this challenge requires expertise and it’s why we’re bringing Jodie Green, a former Principal and Student Services System Leader, in to guest host this webinar. Jodie’s practical knowledge in this space is simply unsurpassed.In this webinar, Jodie will unpack:
- What great practice looks like in a truly inclusive school.
- Clearly defining inclusivity and diversity for today’s teacher.
- The most effective inclusive practices to deploy across the school.
- The leadership imperative of inclusivity.
- Our school inclusivity journey so far and the future ahead of us.
In the end, you’ll leave this webinar capable of developing your school’s unique response to your own community’s unique circumstances. This is about the key realisation that there is no blue print for inclusive education – but the most important thing is that there are some clearly identifiable principles at work which underpin the structure, organisation and practices of the school its ethos and its relationship with its surrounding communities.This Real Schools Webinar is aimed at Teachers, School Leaders, Administrators and Teachers of all phases of learning – you’d be crazy to miss it!
