Teaching Diversity, Inclusivity And Differentiation

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

offers 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,

instead of particular groups of students in an equitable manner and inclusively within their natural environment. Shore et al. (2011) identified belongingness and uniqueness as two important components of inclusion. They argued that the success of inclusivity depends on treating individuals as insiders and allowing them to retain their unique identity within a working group. Farrell (2016) emphasized this by pointing out that how inclusive the school system is depends on the extent to which students

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

it is important that I challenge stereotypes and prejudice through diversity, actively fostering a culture with other learners and inclusivity for all. This means making all learners feel like an important part of the session according to their individual needs and learning styles. I should also be aware of the differing learning levels of students and make every effort to incorporate this into classes using different teaching methods. Petty (2009) asserts that as teachers “we need to discover,

the school I will lead will be one that works to break the cycle of poverty by specializing in helping students from low socioeconomic households make greater than yearly expected academic gains. As shown by examples in Figure One, there are a diversity of these schools located throughout our nation. They all establish high expectations for their students, work on forming relationship with the students and family beyond

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,

1. Introduction Inclusive education is a move towards a learning environment where ‘special school’ learners are integrated into ‘mainstream’ education. According to Nind et al. (2005) ‘Education and educational provision is shared by both ‘normal’ pupils and those with a disability, at the expense of differences in the specific nature of each child or young person and her/his particular strengths and areas of weakness, and consequences that these differences have in terms of educational needs’
