I am currently reading a book she has edited called 'Growing Up Disabled in Australia' - a collection of chapters written by a wide range of authors. I am reading this book with a small book club of Year 5/6 students. I was first introduced to the social model of disability through Carly and I found this interview on Youtube extremely insightful.]]> 2021-07-25 22:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660441530 jkrodgers https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660442663 An article from The Age newspaper in Victoria confirming what I have experienced during remote learning.

Having experienced this over the last two years, I have witnessed firsthand the struggles of remote learning with students who have additional learning needs and disabilities. I can acknowledge that remote learning is unprecedent in Victoria, but it also continues to highlight the struggles families have with children with disabilities, the support educational institutions can provide and that there is a long way for improvement and to do better.]]> 2021-07-25 22:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660443235 jkrodgers https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660444107 A tabloid article highlighting perceptions of disability in the community.]]> 2021-07-25 22:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660444107 jkrodgers https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660446727 A tabloid article highlighting the abhorrent treatment of a student with a disability in the community. This situation demonstrates how much we still need to learn in terms of the way we treat all members of our community and provide an environment that is truly accessible and respectful.]]> 2021-07-25 22:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660446727 jkrodgers https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660464965 An TED Talk identifying the learning that can take place from those with a disability. I feel like if this happened more in our community, we could create environments that are more accessible and inclusive of all our community members. For this school to truly meet the target students, then these key stakeholders need to have their voices heard.]]> 2021-07-25 23:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660464965 jkrodgers https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660471058 My favourite educational TED Talk. Although this was not specific to disability and inclusive education, Rita aligns with my personal philosophy of teaching and education. I have worked for over thirteen years at a low socio-economic school and can relate to the challenges she shares. This TED Talk inspires me to be resilient and acknowledge the privlige I have as a teacher.]]> 2021-07-25 23:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660471058 jkrodgers https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660482902 What an amazing woman not because of her disability but because of her career, accomplishments and personality. I was particularly interested in the way she "labels" a disability and dislikes the term "disabled person". ]]> 2021-07-26 00:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660482902 jkrodgers https://padlet.com/jkrodgers/Bookmarks/wish/1660501682 This TED Talk provided insight into Judith Heumann and her campaign against discrimination.
