About this Course

Mode: This 30 hour self-paced online course will be delivered in English but supported in Afrikaans.

What is inclusive education and what does it mean for teachers? 

In essence, INCLUSIVE EDUCATION refers to a school system that is a reflection of society. It is essential that learners with differing abilities should be included in our classrooms. Segregation in any form is strongly discouraged and diversity is embraced. 

Teachers are tasked to deliver the curriculum at a specific pace and level, but not all learners are able to progress at the required rate. This scenario poses a challenge, and teachers often lack the skills to assist those learners with barriers to learning

This course has been designed to provide a holistic approach, ensuring you are well-versed in understanding the impact of barriers to learning from policy to practical scaffolding, differentiation and Individual/Group Support Plans (ISPs). 

Lesson contents:

  • Intrinsic and extrinsic barriers as well as Learning Theories
