They have an even greater obligation to plan lessons for pupils who have low levels of prior attainment or come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Teachers should use appropriate assessment to set targets which are deliberately ambitious.

- 19. What is Inclusion? Inclusiveeducation describes the process by which a school or setting attempts to respond to all children as individuals by reconsidering and restructuring its curricular organisation and provision and allocating resources to enhance equality of opportunity. Through this process, the school or setting builds its capacity to accept all children from the local community who wish to attend and in so doing, reduces the need to exclude children. Adapted from Sebba and Ainscow 1996 19

Editor's Notes
- #3 This is one model and can be applied to all children in respect of race , gender, SEND etcThe medical model implies that there is something wrong with the individual, that the individual can be fixed.The social model implies that there are barriers to be overcome so that all individuals can function well in society.And this leads us to a rights based approach rather than a charity based approach.We’re going to look very briefly at the History of Inclusion and I’d like you to consider what model each of these key point sin history reflects.Legislation reflects the move from medical to social and back to medical ie parents hold budgets to buy services child needs – focus back on child not environment
- #8 Non-discrimination (Article 2): The Convention applies to all children, whatever their race, religion or abilities; whatever they think or say, whatever type of family they come from. It doesn’t matter where children live, what language they speak, what their parents do, whether they are boys or girls, what their culture is, whether they have a disability or whether they are rich or poor. No child should be treated unfairly on any basis.
- #9 Consider the apparent Move backwards as reflected in ‘eliminate ‘ when previous legislation moved towards ‘promoting inclusion and diversity ’
- #10 The Green Paper states that life chances for the approx two million children and young people in England who are identified as having a special educational need (SEN), or who are disabled, are disproportionately poor.
- #12 Or we can see it like thisLearning objective – what do we want the child to learn?Access – how is the child going to access this learning?Teaching style – how can I adapt my pedagogy to support the child’s learning?
- #22 SoE web area. An excellent resource. Could be very useful to support school based work.
