| Abstract: | The Index for Inclusion is a resource to support the inclusive development of schools. The materials in the Index are designed to build on the wealth of knowledge and experience that people already have in their schools and to challenge any school to move forward, regardless of how inclusive it is. From the start the language in the Index is deeply inclusionary, replacing the term ‘special educational needs’ with ‘barriers to learning and participation’. It invites a school to reduce those barriers by working through a cycle of activities to gather information about the school's cultures, policies and practices and to set new priorities for development after undergoing a deep scrutiny of everything that makes up the life of the school. |
