Brief description
This module will focus on leading whole-setting approaches to Additional Learning Needs. The module will require students to reflect on how change can be implemented to improve inclusive education across their settings. Students will deconstruct examples of best practice and reflect on how these may be applied to their own setting. Students will gain understanding of how they can lead positive change in their settings to enhance inclusive practice. Students will develop the skills needed to show excellence in practice as an ALNCo.
Aims

2. Determine the key skills and strengths required for effective partnership working across organisations
3. Evaluate setting-wide quality classroom practice, interventions and strategies for inclusion;
4. Critically examine the key principles of inclusion and how these principles might be reflected in a whole-setting approach.

Module Skills
| Skills Type | Skills details |
|---|---|
| Co-ordinating with others | Assessments are all designed to require students to show how they are able to problematise their practice, and how they can use evidence, action planning and reflection to solve problems both autonomously and in collaboration with peers. |
| Critical and analytical thinking | All module content is intended to challenge students to reconsider what they think they know, to adopt critical mindsets and to be ready to adapt what they do, in light of the new knowledge and understanding they encounter during the module. |
| Subject Specific Skills | Students will be introduced to, and expected to engage critically with, the core literature, evidence and techniques for enquiry in relation to the module topic. This is in order to demonstrate the appropriate application of research and scholarship in their own practice and their critical evaluation of the same, in order to arrive at an ever-deeper understanding of the topic as it applies to professionals. |
