Inclusion is a right for all children. This subject explores how socio-cultural factors influence children’s experiences of difference, diversity and disability. Students will reflect on their role as a teacher in advocating for equity and access to nurturing early childhood and primary inclusive learning environments. By drawing on research and relevant curriculum documents, students will learn to optimise learning through a tiered, strength-based approach that reduces barriers to learning and strengthens the diverse capabilities of all learners. The subject promotes the importance of collaborative partnerships with families and all those working with the child. This subject is included in the Transition Phase of the Master of Teaching program.
