Building Training Skills in a Team to Promote Inclusion

This training is aimed at developing the skills and knowledge of a core group of trainers who would in turn be able to offer a further level of accessibility training across a Local Authority area or region in line with recent legislative changes. Inclusion or the ‘presumption toward mainstream’ would be explored at both the level of values and practical implications.

Description

Keys to Inclusion: Training and Support Package

  • Building Capacity for Inclusion
  • Planning for Inclusion
  • Staff Development and Training
  • Quality and Attainment

This training is aimed at developing the skills and knowledge of a core group of trainers who would in turn be able to offer a further level of accessibility training across a Local Authority area or region in line with recent legislative changes. Inclusion or the ‘presumption toward mainstream’ would be explored at both the level of values and practical implications.

This training allows trainers to offer workshop/training days, both values primers and a practical guide to successful strategies for developing inclusive practice in educational settings for children and young people of all ages.

There’s no better way to get set up, get trained, and get going on your inclusive training. The most knowledgeable trainers will teach you all the basics in face-to-face training sessions, and guide you through more advanced concepts and ideas. So whether you’re brand-new to inclusion training, a seasoned pro, or somewhere in between, we will help take your skills to the next level.

“We are privileged and delighted that Colin and Derek are returning to Galway to work with us. The training event in April was a truly amazing learning experience for us as trainers. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to participate so far – you don’t know what you’ve been missing!”

Course Content

  • The course answers the questions:
  • How can we be better trainers?
  • Can you give us content and skills to promote inclusion as you do?
  • Can we build up the skills and content of our own trainers locally?

We will cover:

  • ‘Keys to Inclusion’ introduces participants to 7 Guiding Ideas that underpin inclusive practice within the context of recent legislation.

  • Inclusion is about adults’ learning
  • Taking the ‘Long View’
  • Capacity building/giftedness as a new paradigm for understanding disability and difference and new paperwork systems for person centred recording and planning

  • The intentional building of relationships – ‘Restorative Interventions’ and ‘Circle of Friends’ work as an example of this
  • Not doing it alone – the importance of teams in developing inclusive practice
