About this course
This course is for all educators.
Inclusive and accessible environments
In this toolkit, you will learn how to create a more inclusive and accessible learning environments. Often small changes make a big difference to how you, or your students, access a place and their education. These changes do not have to involve weeks of training or expensive resources, it might be as simple as asking pupils to change their behaviour slightly, or moving the furniture around! Our toolkit will show you how to assess your learning environment and identify what you can do to ensure they can learn what you want to teach them. Don’t forget you can find ongoing advice and support on our conversation boards here.
We will discuss:
- what inclusion and accessibility means
- why people are considered to be ‘disabled’
- how to create an enabling environment
Following this course you will be able to:
- Identify the challenges pupils might face when trying to learn
- Identify practical, realistic measures to improve access to learning
- Create a more positive and inclusive learning environment
