Learning is for everyone--How to make your classroom and school more inclusiveJean Bernard
Module 5 (of 6) of the Learning to Get Along' course for teachers and school staff. This module addresses the issues teachers face in successfully including students with disabilities into the regular classroom, The slide topics also speak to other reasons that learners are often excluded from full participation based on, for example, their gender, mother tongue, social status, race or ethnicity.
A good lesson considers the diverse needs of all learners through inclusive strategies such as providing group profiles detailing any disabilities or needs. Lessons are planned with adjustments to ensure all learners can participate effectively in a safe, accessible environment. Clear communication uses multiple formats and teachers explore subjects from different perspectives while promoting respect, equality and inclusion. Learners' progress is regularly checked and supported.
This document discusses student diversity in the classroom and provides tips for teachers. It identifies several factors that contribute to student diversity, including socioeconomic status, learning styles, and exceptionalities. The document argues that student diversity enriches the learning environment by enhancing self-awareness, promoting cognitive development, and preparing students for society. It then provides nine tips for teachers to address student diversity, such as encouraging students to share their experiences, forming diverse groups, using varied assessment methods, and purposely forming discussion groups with diverse backgrounds.
The document outlines the counseling and guidance program at the American School in Japan Elementary School. It introduces the two counselors, Steve Hisler and Naho Kikuchi, and describes the philosophy of providing support for students' academic, personal, and social development. The major components of the program include classroom guidance with a developmental focus, individual/group counseling, and consultation with teachers, parents, and administrators. The document also lists the school's student learning outcomes and how guidance helps students develop skills in each area.
The document discusses raising cultural awareness in the EFL classroom. It defines cultural awareness and intercultural awareness. The presentation objectives are to provide theoretical knowledge about multicultural education, develop ideas for integrating migrant students, and highlight teaching practices that encompass innovation. Some challenges for teachers in culturally diverse classrooms include language barriers, different backgrounds, and lack of resources. The role of teachers is to demonstrate respect, collaboration, tolerance and understanding of different cultures. Suggested methods include engaging students, helping set classroom rules, using simplified language, authentic materials, and addressing conflicts wisely.
The document discusses key factors that influence the classroom environment, including teaching practices, relationships, physical space, and classroom organization. It emphasizes that the teacher plays a crucial role in establishing an environment that either supports or hinders student learning and well-being. An inclusive classroom requires considering all students' needs, facilitating positive relationships, and ensuring flexibility so the environment can evolve to meet changing requirements.
The document outlines guidelines for ensuring lessons and learning environments are inclusive of students with diverse needs and backgrounds.

Teachers ought to do three things, and that they have to teach students to do these three things.
And that is to know, to care and to act.
That is to say, in order to bring about reform and to bring about this self-transformation, we need knowledge. We cannot do it in ignorance. But knowledge is not enough. We also have to care and act.
Keep students engaged by modeling the target language, monitoring group work, and ensuring student talking time exceeds teacher time. Build trust and a supportive learning environment where students feel challenged. Review foundational concepts and allow time for students to practice at their own pace.

1. The document discusses the differences between approaches and methods in language teaching. Approaches provide general principles for teaching a language, while methods provide specific prescriptions for content, roles, and activities.
2. It notes that while methods provide structure for novice teachers, they risk marginalizing the teacher's role and making students passive learners. Approaches allow more flexibility but lack clear application.
3. The document advocates considering context, evaluating objectives, developing and testing materials, and providing feedback in language program design rather than rigidly following a single method.
This document discusses strategies for teaching English to diverse adult learners. It finds that adaptive teaching approaches can improve learner performance and attitudes. Teachers need to understand learner diversity and adapt instruction accordingly. The methodology involves teachers organizing resources and activities, using platforms like Moodle, coordinating with other teachers, providing personal support, and maintaining high expectations for all learners. Diversity is not always considered in adult education but should be through adaptive teaching strategies.

The document outlines the framework for the English curriculum in Puerto Rico from kindergarten through 12th grade. It describes the framework as a document that establishes the foundations, principles, content, strategies, and assessments for each grade level. It also establishes goals, objectives, teaching methods, and focuses for the program. The framework guides the development of the curriculum at each school level and helps teachers prepare instruction that considers students' physical and psychological development at different grades. It also ensures high academic standards and the integration of English with other subjects.
Adolescent learners face unique challenges that distinguish them from both young learners and adults. They are undergoing rapid physical, intellectual, social, emotional, and moral development. This makes them acutely aware of their changing abilities and desires for independence, while still dependent on social acceptance. Teachers must understand adolescent development and support learners by providing collaborative learning opportunities, respecting physical changes, serving as role models, and engaging students with real-world issues through community involvement and complex problem-solving tasks. This balanced approach helps adolescent learners navigate their growth into independent adults.
This document discusses various topics related to language learning, including the role of errors, differences between first (L1) and second (L2) language acquisition, learner characteristics, and learning styles. It notes that errors are an unavoidable and necessary part of the language learning process. It also highlights several key differences between L1 and L2 learning, such as age of acquisition, motivation, and environment. The document provides examples of learning styles, strategies, and how learner characteristics can influence the learning process. Teachers are advised to consider individual learner needs and adapt their teaching accordingly.

This document summarizes an online administrator mentor roundtable on school culture and transformational change. It provides an agenda for the roundtable, including introductions, norms for collaboration, a discussion of how the topic relates to participants' current roles, objectives, and a discussion of key aspects of school culture like defining culture, different culture types, and using a school culture typology worksheet. It also discusses transformational change through triple-loop learning and provides a scenario for participants to discuss how to address a principal struggling with cultural resistance to changes. The document aims to help administrators examine and potentially transform their school's culture.
English has become a global lingua franca used for international communication. It spread through colonialism, economics, travel, information exchange, and popular culture. Like other languages, English exists in many varieties defined by regions such as British English, American English, and Australian English. When teaching English, teachers must consider which variety to teach and expose students to different varieties at appropriate levels. Effective English language teaching requires understanding methodology, learner differences and styles, levels, motivation, the teacher's role, and learning contexts.
Individual differences (aida purificacion david) mat sciencetitserRex
Individual differences refer to the uneven rates of growth and development among individuals. This document identifies several factors that contribute to individual differences, including heredity (e.g. intelligence, physical traits) and environment (e.g. family background, school quality). Effective teachers understand individual differences and tailor their instructional methods, grouping strategies, curriculum and programs to meet the varied needs and potential of each student. Schools also play an important role in addressing individual differences through proper assessment of students, adjusting instruction, and providing specialized programs.
The document discusses the INTASC Standard 6 which focuses on effective communication in the classroom. It emphasizes that communication encompasses both verbal and nonverbal techniques. Teachers must model communication skills and teach students to communicate effectively. They should use a variety of media and be sensitive to cultural differences. The assumptions are that communication is essential for a well-run classroom and the teacher's role is to set communication norms and ensure all students feel comfortable expressing themselves. Examples of classroom practices that support communication are provided.
This lesson plan introduces 10-12 year olds to social media advertising techniques and responsible social media use. Students will analyze example social media ads to identify the advertising technique and target audience. They will also discuss how to create a safe social media profile, including what personal information to include and appropriate photos to post. The lesson emphasizes protecting personal information and identifies common social engineering tactics used by predators online.
This lesson plan aims to teach students aged 10-12 about fake news and how to identify it. It defines key terms like fake news, misinformation, and disinformation. It encourages students to fact-check information before believing it and to think critically about sources. Students then play a game of "Fact or Fiction Telephone" to see how facts can change as stories are retold. They also analyze photographs and news statements to determine what is real or imagined. The lesson emphasizes the importance of verifying information from multiple sources and knowing the difference between facts and opinions.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

UNIT 6: Teaching students to apply the concept
6. MODULE INTRODUCTION
In this course, we have been learning about
differentiated instruction and how educators can
use it to actively plan for your students' differences
so that all students regardless of their age,
gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation… can learn to
the best of their ability and in a safe, secure,
inclusive manner.
In a differentiated classroom, educators divide
their time, resources, and efforts to effectively
teach students who have various backgrounds,
readiness/skill levels, and interests. To effectively
differentiate, educators need certain skills. We will
explore some of these skills in this module. We
invite you to reflect and assess your own skills
levels, making note of areas where you feel you
can improve as we move through the module.
7. UNIT 1: INCLUSIVE
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
The idea of inclusive communication comes
from an understanding that people
communicate differently, and various
techniques are needed to meet these
different needs.
Using inclusive communication techniques
in the classroom is a key part of
differentiated instruction which involves
providing different levels or instructional
techniques for different individual students.
8. WHY ARE INCLUSIVE COMMUNICATION
SKILLS IMPORTANT?
The Council of Europe has defined a set of competences that teachers
should acquire in order to effectively champion diversity in the classroom.
Communication and Relationships is a key focus. The CoE says, Teachers
should:
• Initiate and sustain positive communication with learners and colleagues
from diverse backgrounds
• Create open mindedness and respect in their classrooms and school
community
• Motivate and engage students to engage in learning individually and in
cooperation with others
• Deal with discrimination and conflicts to prevent marginalistion and school
failure
In this section, we will explore some important communication skills need in
order to be able to do these things.
9. COMMUNICATION SKILLS IN
EDUCATION
Educators wear many hats every day while in
the classroom: the organizer, instructor, speaker,
facilitator, entertainer and sometimes dispute
resolution specialist.
Educators interact not only with
students/learners, but with other educators,
school administration staff and depending on
the level they teach sometimes parents too.
Strong interpersonal skills and
communication are key for any
inclusive/innovative educator.

10. INTERPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Interpersonal skills are those which help a
person communicate well.
As the name says interpersonal, it means when
the communication takes place between two
individuals, then the communication is said to be
interpersonal.
As educators, we need to be mindful and
remember that communication can take place in
any form like verbally, non-verbally, through
gestures, through eye moments, different
postures and so on..

11. Communication Skills are key when addressing
learning barriers like language..
“When I came to Ireland, I didn’t speak English. I
used to just answer all questions with “yes, yes,
yes” but I didn’t understand anything, I just wanted
to escape.”
Rodica Lunca is Roma and came to Ireland from Romania in 2001

12. COMMUNICATION COMPONENTS
Language is a very important component of the
communication process. In a diverse classroom,
not everyone speaks the same language to the
same level but that does not mean that we
cannot communicate.
Inclusive and innovative educators are mindful
of other communication methods that can be
even more powerful than words.
Let’s explore some of these..
Source
13. Did you know that language-specific words
account for only 10% of communication? The
communication process is actually 90% made
up of non-verbal information in the forms of tone
and body language.
Body language: our mannerisms and
demeanour
• facial expressions
• gaze—looking at the other person or away
from them; paying attention or not
• gestures—arm and hand movements
• posture—leaning forward or back; relaxed
or stiff
• distance from the other person—too close
or too far
Tone: the way we speak
• fast or slow
• gentle or aggressive
• with or without pauses
14. Have a look at the body language of the
educators in these pictures.
Make some notes on their body language.
Is it open, friendly, welcoming, negative?
Reflect on your own body language in the classroom, how open, welcoming, inclusive would you say it is..
Time for Self-Reflection
15. Some students with learning
disabilities can misunderstand tone
of voice, facial expression and
gestures. Students who are learning
English might also come from
different cultures where a gesture
has a different meaning.
Use words to reinforce your body
language when you need the class
to know how you feel.
Read information aloud that is
presented visually. Give both oral
and written instructions.
Suggest students record audio of
your classes. It can be helpful for
many students with language
difficulties to listen to the words
several times.

16. Use body language that aids in
communication.
Act it out.
Demonstrate using real objects.
Use visuals and reinforce with
written material whenever possible.
No two students are the same and it
is crucial that in our effort to become
more inclusive educators we learn
all that we can about any
communication difficulties students
in our classroom including but not
limited to speech, language and
sensory processing issues. The
more informed we are, the better we
can accommodate these with
differentiated learning

COMMUNICATION ISSUES
17. Using gender-neutral language and
respecting student’s pronouns goes
a long way in making students feel a
sense of belonging. As educators, it
is crucial we suppress gender
oppression and learn about and
integrate gender inclusive language,
practices, and general knowledge
into classroom settings.
Establishing ground rules for
conduct and dialogue in the
classroom can be extremely helpful
when trying to create a space for
establishing an open and respectful
dialogues. Open and respectful
dialogues can increase a feeling of
being safe and secure in school
which is necessary for students'
learning and development.

UNIT 2 LEADERSHIP SKILLS
AND TRAITS
As educators, we are role models every day
for the students and learners that we teach.
Our own behaviour and actions are the
single most important way that we
demonstrate inclusive leadership in and
outside the classroom.
19. WHY ARE INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP SKILLS
IMPORTANT?
Inclusive leadership is about:
• Treating students and learners fairly—that is, based on their unique
characteristics, rather than on stereotypes
• Personalizing individuals—that is, understanding and valuing the
uniqueness of diverse others while also accepting them as members of the
group
• Leveraging the thinking of diverse groups for smarter ideation and decision
making that reduces the risk of being blindsided
21. 1. COMMITMENT
Highly inclusive leaders are committed to
diversity and inclusion. As educators in the 21st
Century, it is imperative that we embrace
diversity, including differences in ethnicity,
culture, socioeconomic status, disability, and
sexual orientation.
Highly inclusive educators take steps to ensure
that they don’t marginalize or exclude any
students because their beliefs differ from their
own. They also commit to bridge the gap, not
just with all their students, but also with their
families and society too.
Source
22. Inclusive Educator Insight
“Diversity should not be a
badge, it should be the core
principle of the education
programme, the
organisation and the
educator as a person.” Sanja Ivandić
Intercultural Educator, founder of
Outside Multicultural Magazine
23. 2. COGNIZANCE
Highly inclusive leaders are mindful of personal
and organizational blind spots and self-regulate
to help ensure “fair play.”
Inclusive leaders are deeply aware that biases
can narrow their field of vision and prevent them
from making objective decisions.
Inclusive educators must a exert considerable
effort to learn about their own biases, self-
regulate, and develop corrective strategies.

Unconscious Bias in the Classroom
24. 3. CURIOSITY
Highly inclusive leaders have an open mindset,
a desire to understand how others view and
experience the world, and a tolerance for
ambiguity. For inclusive leaders, openness also
involves withholding fast judgment.
For inclusive leaders, asking curious questions
and actively listening are core skills that are key
to deepening their understanding of
perspectives from diverse individuals.
Curiosity encourages connections with diverse
others, which in turn promotes empathy and
perspective-taking.
Source
25. 4. CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE
Cultural intelligence is the capability to function
effectively in a variety of national, ethnic, and
organizational cultures. Highly inclusive leaders
possess:
• Drive - being motivated to learn about a new
culture;
• Knowledge - learning how culture shapes
people’s behaviours, values, and beliefs;
• Strategy - being able to factor culture into
longer-term planning; and
• Action - behaving in a culturally sensitive way.
Source 1 Source 2
26. Cultural Intelligence in action..
In some cultures,
students are
rewarded for
speaking up, asking
questions, and
participating in
classroom
discussions.
In other cultures,
students are taught to
listen carefully,
respect the teacher,
and only speak when
invited to do so
As inclusive educators, we must be mindful of the multifaceted reasons why some students
are not as openly active in class as others.
27. 5. COLLABORATION
Highly inclusive leaders empower individuals as
well as create and leverage the thinking of
diverse groups.
At its core, collaboration is about individuals
working together, building on each other’s ideas
to produce something new or solve something
complex. But while collaboration among similar
people is comfortable and easy, the challenge
and opportunity thrown up by the foundational
shifts is collaboration with diverse others.
In a diverse classroom, the teacher is the
inclusive leader charged with fostering diverse
collaborations.
Source
28. 6. COURAGE
There’s a vulnerability to being an inclusive
leader, because confronting others and the
status quo immediately invites the spotlight to
turn on the speaker.
BUT Inclusive leaders have the courage to
speak out about themselves and to reveal, in a
very personal way, their own limitations. Instead
of shying away from the challenge of
imperfection, highly inclusive leaders adopt an
attitude of humility.
In diverse classrooms, educators must be
courageous, willing to try new methods and
adapt to their learners needs and requirements.

MEET CRAIG KEMP
“As a classroom teacher I demonstrate leadership in the
following ways:
I make it clear from day one that the classroom is ‘ours’
and not ‘mine’. Ownership of learning space is one of the
most important aspects of developing a rapport with
students.
I am an advocate for the students! I support them and I
give them a voice!
I listen! (One of the most important qualities of a GREAT
leader)
I encourage them. I am a box of positivity – I tell them
they are great and they believe it! I encourage them to
go above and beyond expectations; I demonstrate this
by stepping outside my comfort zone and taking risks in
my learning..”
Craig has 15+ years of
experience teaching, leading
and now consulting in public
and private schools

30. “I ask for feedback – a great leader seeks feedback from
their ‘crew’. I ask for opinions, and provide opportunities
to share – I get students to evaluate me
I encourage questioning! Questioning allows the curious
mind to flourish
I model mistakes and let the students know that
mistakes happen and that is how we learn. I teach them
how to bounce back
I encourage students to make a difference. I currently
teach students who come from a privileged background
and we aim to make a difference in someone else’s life
with all learning that we do..”

31. UNIT 3 INCLUSIVE DIGITAL SKILLS
Despite the advances in technology, many
students across Europe still suffer from a lack
of inclusion when it comes to digital
education.
As educators, we need to do more to slim the
digital divide starting with making digital
inclusion a right, not a privilege. In most
cases this must start by deepening our own
understanding of digital inclusion and our
own digital skills and competencies.
32. “"We urgently need to address the growing
digital gender gap and put digital technology
to work for those who need it most: the
vulnerable, the marginalized, those living in
poverty, and people suffering from
discrimination of all kinds.”
Source
UN Secretary-General António Guterres
WHY ARE INCLUSIVE DIGITAL
SKILLS IMPORTANT?
33. Can something like gender impact on how a
student learns online?
A QUESTION FOR YOU..
34. Interesting findings…
• Female students are less likely to speak out in a traditional face
to face classroom environment yet in online course discussions
are more likely to voice contributions, in turn impacting on
perceived deeper learning, (Anderson and Haddad, 2005)
• It has been found in many studies that gender can impact on
how students learn (Bennet and Marsh, 2003; Wehrwein et al.,
2006)
35. Digital Competence of
Educators
Our teaching profession faces rapidly changing
demands and as educators we require an
increasingly broad and more sophisticated set
of competences than before.
In particular the ubiquity of digital devices and
the duty to help students become digitally
competent requires educators to develop their
own digital competence.
Did you know that there is a European
Framework for Digital Competence of
Educators ?
36. European Framework for the
Digital Competence of Educators
(DigCompEdu)
The DigCompEdu framework is directed
towards educators at all levels of education,
Of interest to INACT, 5.2 of DigCompEdu
Differentiation and personalization:
• To use digital technologies to address
learners’ diverse learning needs, by
allowing learners to advance at different
levels and speeds, and to follow individual
learning pathways and objectives.

38. UNIT 4 EMPATHY SKILLS
In these times, more than ever, empathy is
an important skill which can help individuals
work towards better inclusion.
Empathy is the ability to see the world
through another’s perspective and it is a
vital skill for differentiated learning in an
inclusive classroom.
39. WHY IS EMPATHY IMPORTANT?
As educators, we have a great understanding of the bullying and
violence problems plaguing students in school today.
There is no single solution to these problems, but if we begin to
engage students in empathy in the classroom, perhaps we can
promote understanding, sensitivity, and awareness of those
around us so that students may carry these skills into the world
around them.

individual learner’s cultural
background, hobbies,

41. RESOURCE SPOTLIGHT - EMPATHY MAP
CANVAS
Pulling together information about a
student into what’s known as an
empathy map can help teachers
provide better instruction.
In education, an empathy map is a
simple visual that captures knowledge
about the behaviors, attitudes, needs,
strengths, struggles, emotional states,
and other key attributes of a particular
student or group of students.
Activity – in the resources section will find a copy of this Empathy Map. Fill in an
empathy map for each or as many students as possible in your class. Use the
findings to guide your instructional decisions and as a basis of support for your
learners Source 1 Source 2
42. An activity like this should
encourage students to
explore their similarities.
Often empathy breaks down
because students do not see
how much they are alike.
Have students get to know
each other! This can be
done in a low-risk way by:
• Interviewing a classmate
that you don’t know well
• Partner with someone you
don’t know
Invite representatives from a
charity to come to your
classroom and explain what
they do. Ask what your
students can do to help the
cause and organize a
volunteer day.
Getting students involved in
charity work is a great way to
build empathy–especially
considering what’s going on in
the world today.
Three ways to bring empathy in to your
classroom
Get to know your
classmates activity
Get involved with a
charity
Random Acts of
Kindness project
Have students show a
random act of kindness for
another person – a
classmate, or someone else
in the school.
Use the reflective journal to
have students reflect on how
it made them feel to show,
and how they feel their
kindness impacted others.
Simple but very effective!
43. UNIT 5 DIFFERENCIATED
ASSESSMENT SKILLS
Assessment skills are crucial in each
and every classroom. While it is
important to use classroom
assessment results to monitor
progress for your students, it is equally
important to use the results to evaluate
your own instructional practices so that
you can continue to improve. In the
context of INACT, we are now going to
explore Differentiated Assessment
Skills.
44. WHY ARE ASSESSMENT AND
EVALUATION SKILLS IMPORTANT?
Differentiated assessment is the way by which teachers modify
and match assessment with the varied characteristics/profiles of
students in order to meet the students’ individual needs, thereby
enhancing their learning and boosting their ability to show what
they have learned.
Students differ in their previous learning experiences, readiness,
learning styles, preferences, academic standing, abilities,
strengths and weaknesses, culture, race, and backgrounds.
Teachers use differentiated assessment to match and respond to
the varying learning needs of diverse students in a classroom.
45. Formative Assessment
• not for marks, but rather to help give the
teacher a better idea on how to help the
students move froward
• teacher performs assessment before the
learning takes place
• ensures that the teacher plans the lesson to
best meet the needs of the students
• usually for setting goals
• Ex. peer assessment, exit slips
Source
46. • On a chart, have the
students write the facts
they know on the given
topic, information they
want to learn, and
questions they want to
explore
• The paper is the passed
around the room to
each student
• Brief, timed writing
activity
• Students have 2 or 3
minutes to reflect on and
summarize what they
have learned
• Give students a sticky
note during a lesson,
advise them that they will
have time to reflect on
what they have just
learned
Formative Assessment Strategies
to try in your Differentiated Classroom
Ponder and Pass QuickWrite
Signal and Action
Response
• After a lesson, have the
students perform an
action which indicates
their level of
understanding
• For example:
Waving hands= I know it
Shrug of shoulders= I
have a hunch
Thumbs down=I have no
idea
Source
47. Summative Assessment
• takes place after the student learning occurs
• used to see whether students have achieved
initial goals
• typically used for marks
• it provides an end and final result
• evaluate student learning at the end of a
lesson or unit
• Ex. midterm exam, final exam, final project,
a paper
Source
48. • On a test, a teacher may allow
students to chose how they want to
show their understanding of a certain
concept
• For example, when asked about the
water cycle, students may have the
option to draw the process, label
appropriate transitions and phases, or
writing a descriptions
• Gradually expand the kinds of
assessment choices offered to
students - Oral vs. Written, Practical
etc.
• Give students the options to complete
assignments in different ways
• Ex. comic strip, story, presentation,
video, poster, website
• Can have a different rubric for each
form, but still the same final goal
• Individual & Group Assignments

49. UNIT 6 TEACHING STUDENTS
TO APPLY THE CONCEPT
One of the best ways we can ensure student
apply concepts and their learning is by
encouraging and facilitating active learning.
Active learning is an important component of
inclusive teaching because it promotes
multiple modes of engagement to reach all
students.
Source
50. What does active learning look
like?
• Students are involved in more than listening.
• Instruction emphasizes the development of
students’ skill rather than just transmitting
information.
• Students develop higher-order thinking skills
(analysis, synthesis, evaluation).
• Students are engaged in activities (e.g.,
reading, discussing, writing).
• Students explore their own attitudes and
values.

52. Inclusive Educator Insight
“We focus a lot of reflection as a way to engage learners in their own
learning practice - considering what a given project/task meant to
them, what insights they gained from it, etc. while encouraging them
to think about ‘next steps’ - how they might apply their learning going
forwards. For me, it is important to acknowledge that in a class of
say, 30 students, you will have 30 different ‘student journeys’ and it is
important to actively work with students to help them figure out - and
embrace - their own unique journey.”
Eileen Diskin,
UCD Innovation Academy
53. Tips and insights on introducing active learning in
your classroom
• Using active learning techniques in your teaching requires only a
willingness to try something new in the classroom, gather feedback, and
plan an activity that furthers your course learning goals.
• With any use of active learning, it is important that the activity be more
than “busy work” or a “break from lecture.”
• Rather, the approach should be intentionally selected to allow students to
practice a key idea or skill with peer or instructor feedback.
• Instructional approaches that promote student interaction are most likely to
enhance student learning in a diverse classroom and active learning can
be a powerful way to promote that exchange.

54. Inclusive Educator Insight
“I recently introduced 'Greenhouse Project Time’. A Greenhouse project
time gives students the opportunity to explore and grow a project - in an
active, hands-on way - within an area of personal interest…as long as it in
some way relates to the overall subject area of the course (sustainability).
Essentially a ‘passion project’ or a ‘pet project’. This is timetabled for 4
hours each week - from learning about wildlife & making watercolour
paintings, planting a rooftop garden, up cycling, creation of a community
greenspace etc., curation of sustainability-themed Instagram pages, each
project came from the individual students own area of interest..”

55. ACTIVITY: 8 Active Learning Strategies and
Techniques for you to introduce to your
classroom
1. Reciprocal questioning: Create an open dialogue in which students
take on the role of the teacher and generate their own questions about a
topic, reading section, or lesson.
2. Three step interviews: Encourage students to develop active listening
skills by quizzing one another, sharing their thoughts, and taking notes.
3. The pause procedure: Intersperse strategic pauses into your class
lectures to enhance students' understanding of teaching materials.
4. The muddiest point: Ask students to write notes on the most unclear or
most confusing element of a given homework assignment, lecture, or
class discussion.

Techniques
5. Peer teaching activities: Deploy a range of strategies that have
students instruct skills or explain concepts to classmates.
6. Game-based learning platforms: Use specialized games to add depth
and differentiation to the educational process, helping students to
achieve their learning objectives. Be sure that the technology you choose
is accessible and suits your learner digital skills levels
7. Rotating chair group discussions: Encourage students to actively
listen to selected speakers who follow a pattern of guiding class
discussion and summarizing previous point
