Inclusive Pedagogy

Inclusive Pedagogy

The questions of Inclusive Pedagogy mediate between theory and practice. They can become a tool of analysis -- a tool that interrogates both theory and practice. (Teemant, 3-4)

Five Characteristics of Inclusive Pedagogy:

Collaboration -- gives us the big picture, the main concepts, and the content we need to scrutinize.

Guiding Principles -- asks us to explore theoretical and moral issues in education.

Essential Policy -- asks if our practices are grounded on moral policies, and if not, is advocacy needed.

Critical Learning Domains -- prompt us to look holistically at a student's development.

Classroom Strategies -- require us to re-evaluate our classroom, asking what existing practices work, what new actions are called for.
