A manageable overview of current policies, guidance
and activity that relates to inclusion issues within
the teaching of science to students with special educational
needs.
Web links are included to the full versions of guidance
material. Much of the material relates to developments
in the National Curriculum for England and Wales, with
reference to recent activity in other parts of the UK.
The document has active hyperlinks, which means if you
are connected to the Internet, you can click on a web
link within the document and connect directly, without
having to retype the web address.
The ASE/NASEN Joint Statement for Inclusive Science
and Special Educational Needs has been a significant
outcome from this collaborative project, encapsulating
the important issues and considerations relating to
inclusion in science. The Joint Statement is included
in this resource.
There are a number of ways that this resource may be
supportive:
- Some science departments are being asked to write
Improvement plans for Inclusion and the provision
for students with special educational needs. This
material will be a useful starting point linking to
numerous ideas and suggestions.
- It could be used to stimulate discussion for departmental
INSET.
- Teachers could use the material as part of their
professional development.
- It could be used as part of the school-based NQT
continuing professional development schemes; similarly
for ITT and school based tutorials for teacher training
sessions with student teachers.
