Inclusive education policies in Australia recognise the right of every child and young person – without exception – access to equal opportunities within general education settings.
But what does this mean for schools and educators?
How do we navigate the gap between policy and practice so that schools and educators can realistically meet the needs of all learners?
This event is designed to equip educators and school leaders with the tools, strategies, and insights necessary for this critical journey towards inclusivity.
School leaders will learn strategies to lead their teams through the complexities of change, implementing scalable and effective inclusive reforms.
Educators will gain practical approaches for integrating neurodiverse learners into mainstream classrooms, ensuring every student's success.
