4. What is Inclusive Teaching?
Inclusive Education
“process of increasing participation and decreasing exclusion from culture curricula and community of mainstream schools”Booth and Ainscow, 2002
Inclusive Practice
“‘Inclusive practice’ is concerned with actions and activities, the things staff in schools do that give meaning to the concept of inclusion.” Florian, 2009
Inclusive Pedagogy
‘focuses on extending what is generally available to all rather than providing something different or additional to some’ Florian & Black- Hawkins, 2011

5. What is Inclusive Teaching?
Inclusive teaching means employing practical classroom methodology to teach all learners.
All learners are different and all learners require teachers to teach inclusively.
When we teach inclusively, we teach effectively and all learners benefit.
