Aim: To introduce the topic of Barriers to inclusion.

Start by introducing the topic of barriers to inclusive education. Ask students what they know about inclusive education/what they think it looks like. Name three barriers and explain what they look like. Important to offer a few solutions to barriers but as students will be asked later in the lesson to come up with ideas on how to solve these barriers, they should come up with different solutions to those on the presentation.

Timing: 20 minutes

Resources: Powerpoint

# data[].attributes.body
Aim: To come up with solutions for barriers to inclusive education.

Group activity in groups of four. Each group will be given a barrier to inclusive education. They will be asked to use resources such as the web, powerpoint notes and books to come up with a solution to that barrier. Students will then create a padlet outlining the barrier and the solution they have come up with. There will be three groups of four.

Timing: 25 minutes

Resources: Padlet, phone/laptop.

Websites such as: AsIAm.ie (autism), Downsyndrome.ie, Thinkinclusive.us, Gov.ie (inclusive education) and UNICEF.org

Aim: Presentation of Padlet activity.

Students will be asked to do a five minute presentation of the padlet activity they have created of their findings to the larger group. Two students will have the job of presenting as the other two students will have put the padlet together and done the research.

Timing: 20 minutes (3 groups - 5 minute presentations) and 5 minutes to allow for students setting up padlets, questions etc.

Resources: Padlet link to design.

Aim: A walking debate to check what students have learned.

The statements will be on the board in flashcard form and will be read aloud to the students so they can agree/disagree/remain neutral. After students choose which side to stand on each time a student from each side will be asked why they chose to stand on that side - why they agree/disagree/are unsure or remaining neutral.

Timing: 10 minutes

Resources: The classroom, using flippity flashcards and projecting them onto the board.

Aim: Small group discussion with prompting questions throughout the video to start the discussion.

Show students 7 minutes of the video. During the video questions will pop up on screen for students to answer. Once the video has finished and students have answered their questions they will then break into groups of four and discuss their answers with eachother. For example, did you feel you learned something from the video, if so what? What would you to to ensure inclusiveness when you are working with a child with additional educational needs?

Timing: 20 minutes.

Resource: Video from Youtube and Edpuzzle to add questions.

Aim: Go over learning outcomes ensure they have all been met by using a short Kahoot quiz.

Good opportunity to check knowledge and to see if students understand what inclusive education looks like.

Timing: 15 minutes (5 minutes for recap, 5 minutes for Kahoot! quiz and 5 minutes to get set up with Kahoot! accounts, enter game pin etc.)

Resources: Kahoot on phones
