Purpose
The Inclusive design modules are facilitated professional learning resources to build kaiako, educator, and teacher capability and confidence to be more inclusive with their practice. The resource is designed to meet the variability of education settings from early learning through to secondary school.
Inclusive design underpins many of the Ministry’s policies and strategies including the outcomes of the Highest Needs Review.
The Inclusive design modules can help schools, kura and services to respond and contribute to a fully inclusive education system. It responds directly to two of the National Education and Learning Priorities (NELP) objectives:
- creating barrier free access to education
- ensuring quality teaching and leadership.
The resource:
- supports delivery of flexible supports and services for neurodiverse children and young people (LSAP priority 4). Developing this resource, we have come from the premise that flexible support starts with inclusive design.
- link to the intent of the Aotearoa NZ curriculum refresh that school leaders will lead kaiako to use the curriculum to design and plan learning that promotes inclusion and equity for all peoples.
- is part of Te Tūāpapa o He Pikorua. Te Tūāpapa positions learning supports as part of day-to-day teaching and learning. Flexible, tailored model of support – He Pikorua – Ministry of Education.
