In this session, we will review all the official documentation and frameworks that support our work with Students of Determination.  Questions & Answers.

 

Session 3: Strategic Action Planning

In Session 3, we look at how to create a robust and accurate action plan which is tied to the KHDA Self Evaluation Form and is supported by an Inclusion Audit.  Questions and Answers.

 

Session 4: Robust Self Evaluation

In the final session, we will look at the KHDA Inspection Self Evaluation Form and review different methods to complete the Self Evaluation Form and ensure you have robust evidence to support the strengths within the school.  Questions and Answers.

 

Programme Context:

The Dubai Inclusive Education Policy Framework (2017) and subsequent documentation places inclusion highly on the agenda in all schools.   It states that schools should:

  • Develop a vision for inclusion
  • Communicate an inclusive ethos
  • Provide clear policy, process and procedure
  • Provide a Standard School Service
  • Have clear systems of school-based support

 

This course is part of a series of three covering the different elements of creating and providing an inclusive community within your school in the UAE.

  • Course 1: Leading and Managing Inclusion in the UAE – Part 1
  • Course 2: Leading and Managing Inclusion in the UAE – Part 2
