Diversity
Diversity is about treating everyone fairly and with equal respect.
Equality
Equality legislation protects people against discrimination, harassment and victimisation because they have or are perceived to have or are associated with someone who has a protected characteristic (ie a particular religious belief, a disability etc)
Prejudice
To cope with the complexity of the world our brain automatically categorise things.
As soon as we meet someone we categorise them on the basis of gender, race, age and so on.
We make assumptions from our previous knowledge of the group they belong to.
Prejudice
• Is a thought or an attitude, ‘discrimination’ is the expression of that thought or attitude.
• Negative consequences• Stereotypes and prejudices can often be
incorrect!• Our behaviour and attitudes can support
or damage an inclusive environment.
Defining ‘Inclusion’
In pairs write a definition (i.e. a sentence) on the sticky note and place on the side of the white board
Using the discussion & key words write your own definition in your handout
Mind map – Definition of Inclusion
Inclusion
Laws, guidance and policies• Race Relations Act 1976• Children's Act 2004• Care Standards Act 2000• Education Act 1981, 1993, 1996• Special; Educational Needs and Disability Act
2001• Disability Discrimination Act 1995, 2005• Equality Act 2006
Integration versus Inclusion Why is inclusion better than integration
On the whole inclusion involves more positive action than integration which can be a passive process
Check out the inclusion charter and note down 3 ‘actions’ the charter states that are part of promoting inclusion – 5mins
Theory to Practice
In pairs take one of the children identified and make suggestions (min of 3) as to how they could be included in the classroomHint: Think about access, language, communication, curriculum
Check out your ideas on the AUP practitioner handout
10 mins.
Learning Check-Think outside the box!What are the benefits of these
strategies and others for the child and the setting as a whole
Inclusion is a good idea because……… (complete the sentence taking into account how inclusion may benefit all)
Not all good news!
“Only a minority of mainstream schools are providing for special needs very well, although there is increased awareness of the issues with some schools improving their practice”
OFSTED
Reality check!
Why is inclusion such an issue – watch the video clip on Nathan and make notes on how his parents view inclusion?
What do you think – any experiences from placement (good or not so good!)?
The great debate!
Get together in groups and draw up a list of either advantages or challenges in relation to inclusion – write out on flip chart -10 mins.
Hint: You could scan some of the info. at the back of the handout to help you
Feedback!
Its tricky!
“If we separate young children with special needs from their local friends we are encouraging a segregated existence from an early age. All children have the right to be treated equally, valued and respected and it is difficult to satisfy these requirements in a segregated society” - Wearmouth
