Course overview

What this course covers

Many teachers want every pupil to feel heard and included, but aren’t sure how to make that happen in a busy classroom. This session bridges that gap. Rather than dwelling on theory, we focus on the small, repeatable changes that make the biggest difference — the routines, scaffolds and responses that help every learner communicate, take part and shape their own learning.

Delivered by a specialist who works in successful inclusive settings, the session is hands-on and grounded in real classroom examples. We look at practical ways to build communication into everyday teaching, create genuine opportunities for participation, and give pupils a real say in how they learn.

Staff leave with a shared language for inclusion and a toolkit they can use immediately — from simple questioning and talk routines, to practical strategies for capturing learner voice and acting on it.
