"Building Your Inclusive Classroom explores why we need to adapt our teaching - and our approaches to children and young people - and how this will support the achievement of everyone in the classroom, including the teacher. It will help educators in mainstream settings, across all key stages, to adapt not only their resources but also their approaches for children with SEND and their peers. This accessible resource provides a toolkit of ideas, methods, and motivation to enable teachers to make their classrooms fully inclusive. Chapters present the most effective evidence-based approaches - exploring both relational, restorative practice and traditional methods - to provide the foundations upon which to build inclusive classrooms. Adaptive teaching has traversed beyond just the mini-whiteboard and the writing frame, and we need now, more than ever, to differentiate and adapt our approaches too, for children both with and without diagnosed Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). This book will be essential reading for mainstream teachers, SENDCOs, and trainee teachers, across all key stages"-- Provided by publisher.
