a brief explanation of inclusivity (2008: p18), which is “[…] involving all learners in relevant activities rather than excluding them for any reason directly or indirectly.” Inclusion has also been defined by John Tomlinson (1996: p26) as “the greatest degree of match or fit between individual learning requirements and provision”. In the other words, inclusive learning environment nurtures individual potential of all learners, ensuring they can all benefit from the teaching session. To truly embrace
C Inclusive teaching and learning Introduction Organisations working within the learning and skills sector face increasing challenges as the UK becomes more diverse and multicultural. Differences are an asset and a diverse learner body and workforce enrich an organisation. However, misunderstandings, negative attitudes, or a lack of awareness, understanding and effective communication can all lead to segregation and underachievement. The aim of this CPD builder is to raise awareness of the inclusion
Inclusivity of all students is essential for effective teaching and learning. There is not a ‘One size fits all’ approach to learning. Therefore understanding students and how they learn is paramount for equity for all students. This essay will demonstrate how inclusion, diversity of learners, differentiation of lessons together with ethical and legal responsibilities for teachers and professional conduct, all align together to provide an inclusive, safe classroom for all students regardless of
private colleges. The learners range widely in their ages, interests, abilities, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, etc. Teacher’s Roles and Responsibilities Our role as ESOL teachers is extremely diverse and includes many other aspects outside teaching in class, e.g. we can be a subject leader, a manager of learning resources, a curriculum developer, a tutor, an assessor, an advice giver, an administrator, a record keeper, an interviewer (Francis & Gould, 2009, p.8), a coach, a facilitator

This may be provided by the learner or the college itself. To promote inclusivity, a teacher could learn some sign language in order to communicate with the learners. This might also apply to the rest of the learners in the group. It may be a topic and activity to cover in tutorials, as it may well help the deaf learner to integrate
differentiated pedagogical approach to teaching, to allow for inclusivity within my classroom domains. I strongly believe that there is no one size fits all approach to pedagogy and learning. Therefore, I constantly need to know my students backgrounds, ethnicity, cultures, religions and capabilities to provide quality and engaging learning experiences to engage and challenge all students.
