Inclusive education is essential to ensure that every child has a fair and equal chance to grow, learn and succeed. Download the easy-to-use activities below to explore this topic with your students, both inside and outside the classroom.
These engaging activities for students aged 11-16 will develop learners’ understanding of the different ways in which people learn, build empathy and strengthen collaborative skills. Each activity pack includes ready-to-use activities for teachers that can be easily added to lesson plans or used as standalone sessions, with context and background information that can be shared with learners before starting each activity. The accompanying slideshow can be used alongside the activities, to help facilitate the lesson with visual aids.
Learners will:
- Reflect on and discuss their individual approaches to learning
- Discuss the meaning of disability
- Explore some of the barriers to learning that people with disabilities might face
- Celebrate the differences that makes each one of us special and unique
- Identify possible actions they could take to make their classroom more inclusive
To help teachers integrate the activities into their lesson plans, there are curriculum links for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but the resources can also be used outside of the UK.
