Day Places Available. Burseries for low-waged delegates. Full Access.
Inclusion is the most challenging of all the reforms teachers are being asked to make. This is because it is more than a structural or organisational change, but a change in our attitudes and expectations towards people from whom we have traditionally been separated and taught to ignore. Bringing in outsiders, or learning to support those whom we once would have excluded, is no easy thing. It requires new insights, skills, resources and above all self-confidence on the part of all those engaged in the process.
This event will give participants a chance to gain all these things, and to share their thoughts and experiences with others. It will especially provide an opportunity for teachers to explore the implications of the new anti-discrimination legislation, soon to come into force in our schools and colleges, with some of the country's foremost Disability Equality Trainers.
It will also be an opportunity to look at the wider picture, giving a voice to young people in care, travellers, immigrants and asylum seekers, people working to end racism and young people with high-level support needs.
The purpose of the conference is to develop whole-school policies on inclusion, to build in-school collaborative teams to take the work forward, and to meet individuals and organisations who can furnish ongoing support and expertise from the outside. Don't miss it!
The Inclusion Now Summer School is a collaborative event brought to you by Disability Equality in Education, Young and Powerful, The Alliance for Inclusive Education, |Parents for Inclusion, Inclusive Solutions and Nottingham University Department of Psychology.
