Our Fundamentals for Inclusion for Learning Support training explores quality first teaching strategies to promote inclusive practice in mainstream primary and secondary school classrooms. It draws upon recent research evidence and provides opportunities to critically consider key issues, work collaboratively and share good practice with other SEND colleagues. The whole course focuses upon working towards impact in settings with an emphasis on individual schools and their starting points.
