Welcome to our course! 

We are pleased to present a 40 hour comprehensive course designed specifically for school inclusion teachers, leaders and those who have an interest in expanding their knowledge.  This course includes pre learning tasks that are thoughtfully crafted to inspire reflection and ensure that the content is directly relevant to your school’s unique content.  Participants will also engage in post-learning tasks, which will contribute to a portfolio of evidence showcasing their professional development.  Each Section features practical tasks and activities that can be seamlessly integrated into daily practice, empowering staff to enhance their effectiveness and improve overall service delivery within the school.
Each student will be guided to compile a ‘Portfolio of Evidence’ which will be reviewed prior to receiving a Certificate of Completion.
