Inclusive Education Workshop for Educational Staff 2025

Learn about Disability Inclusive Education

We will show you how small changes can have a big impact for students, and how teachers can make a huge difference even when they are time-poor.

You will leave with an understanding attitudinal barriers faced by students with disability, as well as strategies for inclusion through Universal Design for Learning and using adjustments and accommodations in the classroom.

All educational staff are welcome to attend including teachers, leadership, educational support workers and pre-service teachers from Reception to Year 12, from all sectors.

Workshops are facilitated by people with disability, who bring a wealth of knowledge of disability and education from their own personal and professional lives, with a background in Education.

This free workshop is appropriate for those who have minimal prior knowledge of disability, as well as offering a fresh perspective to those who have significant experience in the sector.

This 1.5 hour online session covers:

• Inclusive Education- why and how?

• Adjustments and accommodations for students with disability in the classroom

• Universal Design for Learning for inclusive education for all students

• Social model of disability

• Attitudes and unconscious bias

Participation in the workshops will lead to better understanding of inclusive education through understanding attitudinal barriers faced by students with disability, as well as strategies for inclusion through Universal Design for Learning and using adjustments and accommodations in the classroom.

You can join us on either Wednesday 19th OR Thursday 20th November.

1 x 90min workshop will be online via Microsoft Teams at 4:00pm - 5:30pm ACST (Adelaide time)

Still wondering if this course is for you?

Here is some feedback from people who have attended this training:

"Very useful information and informative. Practical examples and explanations that we can use in the classroom."

" Really great to hear people with disabilities talking about disabilities. I have heard so many talks about inclusion from those who don't actually have any experience of not being included, so this was very refreshing."

"Thank you for sharing your own personal experiences which make it so much more relevant"

"Fantastic- thought provoking, informative. Thank you for your time- very valuable"

"Great presenters, very articulate and relational. Loved the humour used."
