Inclusiontaking positive action and intervening to

• enable achievement for all

• acknowledge and build on, social and cultural diversity

• enable the participation of all learners

• focus on and address the needs of all learners so that learning is personalised and they are enabled to meet their potential

Equitytreating people fairly, not necessarily the same

• provision of appropriate structures and expectations

• opportunities to reach their potential by following pathways for progression and with no gaps or dead ends

• expectations of teachers, parents and others motivate, stimulate, and encourage learners to take advantage of these pathways

• support endeavours to overcome negative background factors

Closing the Gap

Disadvantage starts in the womb

Multiplicity of risk factors accelerates lower performance

The link between deprivation and attainment persists over time - ‘Born to Fail’ - but is not inevitable

Individual schools and intervention programmes DO make a difference

Support and PSD (ISE Report)

Often very good (pre-school)

Positive ethos promotes PSD very well (primary)

Personal support strong but learning and teaching not always suited to aims (secondary)

A strength (special schools) - needing further work in EBD schools

Whose job is it to teach PSD?

The big classroom factors?

• having a positive attitude • the development of a pleasant social /

psychological climate in the classroom • having high expectations of what pupils

can achieve • lesson clarity • effective time management • strong lesson structuring • the use of a variety of teaching methods • using and incorporating pupils’ ideas • using appropriate and varied questioning

[David Reynolds]

High reliability organisationsdefine a limited range of goals upon which total success is insisted

train extensively

have formalised, logical decision-making processes

only do initiatives which overcome flaws and generate transformations

pay considerable attention to the evaluation of performance

are alert to lapses

take a stand on the detail

are highly co-ordinated and inter-dependent

are data rich and continuously monitor their work to improve the quality of their decision making

Apply to learning, not to management

What more can we do?

Intervene promptly when things go wrong for individualsGet to know the individuals concerned - personalise thingsEnable more flexible operation of schoolsLearn from other services’ successful cross-agency workingProvide more OSCAL, more FE outreachListen to the learners’ voicesGive a voice to those who don’t have one
