Beyond the desk, towards true belonging! ?? Inclusion isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the heartbeat of every classroom. By embracing diversity in all its forms, we create environments where every student feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. Let’s champion inclusion as more than just a concept, but as a guiding principle that fosters empathy, understanding, and unity among learners. Together, we can build classrooms where everyone’s unique strengths shine bright! ???? #inclusion?#inclusionworks?#createchange?#inclusion?#community?#socialchange?#inclusionmatters?#disabilityinclusion?#communities?#inclusión?#diversityandinclusion?#inclusivesociety?#comeonecomeall?#everyonewelcome?#inclusiveeducation?#inclusiveness?#inclusive?#socialresponsibility?#inclusiveeducationservices?#inclusiveeducationpolicy?#circletime?#educationispower?#resources?#studentsuccess?#thecirclemakers

Breaking barriers starts with breaking misconceptions! ?? Inclusion in schools isn’t just about having everyone in the same room—it’s about creating an environment where every voice is heard, valued, and respected. Yet, some notions of inclusion fall short, missing the mark on true diversity and equity. Let’s challenge these outdated perspectives and strive for a truly inclusive education system—one that celebrates every individual for who they are and embraces the richness of our differences. Together, we can redefine inclusion and pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future! ??? #inclusion?#inclusionworks?#createchange?#inclusion?#community?#socialchange?#inclusionmatters?#disabilityinclusion?#communities?#inclusión?#diversityandinclusion?#inclusivesociety?#comeonecomeall?#everyonewelcome?#inclusiveeducation?#inclusiveness?#inclusive?#socialresponsibility?#inclusiveeducationservices?#inclusiveeducationpolicy?#circletime?#educationispower?#resources?#studentsuccess?#thecirclemakers

#ThoughtfulThursday Inclusion starts with understanding. ?? I’ve found that taking a step back to reflect on the diverse needs of my students often leads to the most meaningful connections. Every student comes with their own unique story. It’s up to us to really see them and adapt our approach to meet them where they are. Whether it’s offering extra support or just taking the time to listen, these small actions can make all the difference. I’ve learned that inclusion isn’t about having all the answers, but about being willing to grow, learn, and try new things to ensure every student feels valued and heard. ?? #ThoughtfulThursday #InclusiveEducation

It is National Inclusion Week (NIW) 23 September - 29 September But is it really? Is it a time to celebrate inclusion and take action to create more inclusive workplaces? The theme is year is 'Impact Matters' and as I thought about this I couldn't help but think of the Sixth Form students I supported years back as the Wellbeing and Safeguarding Practitioner. It was an email with a list of students and asking me to do something with them. Now 'something' is unclear but also showed a resignation of those that sent the email and believe you me the students knew about the resignation of others. I saw then how social categories can shape students' opportunities and challenges in life, the deal the non-Russel Group Universities prospective candidates got, and how their backgrounds and identities played a significant role in other's decisions about them. What has intersectionality got to do with anything? Like with my amazing then students, Intersectionality explores the interconnected nature of social categorisations such as race, class, and gender, and how these overlapping identifies contribute to shaping opportunities and challenges someone has in life. Think of your Work place: ??The glass ceiling ??Unequal Pay ??Lack of representation in Leadership positions ??Unconscious bias in recruitment ??Unconscious bias in promotion processes ??Limited mentorship and networking for certain groups ??Just a number and not truly consulted or involved This experience underscored the importance of understanding intersectionality and its real-life implications, particularly in education and career paths. It's crucial for educators, mentors, and society as a whole to recognize and address systemic issues that may limit opportunities for certain individuals, ensuring that every student has the support and encouragement they need to pursue their dreams. I was coaching two females recently for whom this was their pressing agenda. The feeling they had of being side-lined and not involved because of these very categorisations and feeling under-valued in their work place despite the amazing impact they are having with their clients and service users. ??And so I ask, hypothetically of course: ???As a colleague to these two females what everyday interactions would you be having with them to bring inclusion in action? ???As a leader, what actions may you be taking to address intersectionality and foster inclusion and diversity? #NationalInclusionWeek2024 #Inclusion #Diversity #Workplace #Change

Every student deserves to feel valued and included in their educational journey. Let’s celebrate the diversity among us and recognize that ALL students are candidates for inclusion. Together, let’s create learning environments where every voice is heard and every individual is supported. #inclusion?#inclusionworks?#createchange?#inclusion?#community?#socialchange?#inclusionmatters?#disabilityinclusion?#communities?#inclusión?#diversityandinclusion?#inclusivesociety?#comeonecomeall?#everyonewelcome?#inclusiveeducation?#inclusiveness?#inclusive?#socialresponsibility?#inclusiveeducationservices?#inclusiveeducationpolicy?#circletime?#educationispower?#resources?#studentsuccess?#thecirclemakers

10 REASONS YOUR STAFF MAY BE RESISTANT TO INCLUSION? ?????? 1. The momentum of the same- comfort is on the side of keeping things the way they are 2. We live in ableist systems that perpetuates exclusionary mindsets and practices 3. They think inclusion it is an add-on initiative, a program, or something they can choose to do or not do 4. They feel overwhelmed and under supported to try something new or different 5. They are still not sure of “the why” behind becoming an inclusive school 6. They need a clear roadmap of where they are going and what will happen along the way 7. They need incentives and support to make change 8. They don’t want to feel unsuccessful trying something new 9. They do not believe it is their responsibility (“that is special ed’s job”) 10. They need a clear vision #InclusionRevolution #AbleismAwareness #ChangeMakers #InclusiveEducation #BeyondPrograms #RedefineInclusion #RoadmapToChange #SupportForChange #WhyInclusionMatters #IncentivizeInclusion?#inclusionforall #inclusionmatters #educators #schooladministrators

We like to think that effective inclusion is about names—the uniqueness of every child—and not numbers or scores. It’s about student needs, not the labels often attached to individual students. Effective inclusion is about the services provided rather than the places where those services are offered. ??
