About the workshop
This is a rare opportunity to hear from people with disability who have first-hand experience of being educated under different models of education.
In this workshop, Norm Kunc and Emma Van der Klift will reflect on their student experiences, both the challenges and successes.
They will also draw on educator experiences and research to challenge us to rethink ideas of “doing inclusion” so schools can intentionally build and maintain a sense of belonging for all students and adults in the school.
They argue that an ongoing confusion between ability and opportunity holds back progress in inclusive education.
Topics covered will include:

• Belonging as an inherent need of all people
• Collaborative planning
• Effective classroom and school based supports
• Better ideas for supporting students who need support around behaviour
