Inclusive Education: Research, Policy & Practice
Background
The programme has been in existence since
1994 and was originally designed to provide training for teachers of learning
support in mainstream and special schools in Scotland. Over the years the course has attracted an
increasing number of classroom teachers and managers who express a desire to
learn more about support for learning and special educational needs (additional
support needs). The course also attracts
students from overseas who are keen to embrace the international move towards
inclusion. A highlight for both international and Scottish students is the
opportunity to work together as they seek to support the learning of all
pupils.
