Overview
This session explores how schools can strengthen whole-school inclusion by aligning leadership, policy, and classroom practice. Drawing on Using Educational Support Staff for Impact in Schools (2025), participants will examine how Educational Support staff can be strategically deployed within co-teaching models, planning cycles, and multi-tiered systems of support. Practical case studies from K–12 settings will demonstrate how schools are embedding inclusive practices, supported by frameworks such as UDL and VTLM 2.0. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to build capability, foster collaboration, and ensure consistent adjustments for diverse learners, enhancing outcomes for all students.
