Reihe: Equity in Education Series

Every learner, no matter their starting points or backgrounds, and no matter their additional and different needs, should have a fair and equitable chance of succeeding at school. This second book in the Equity in Education series explores ways of making the curriculum, teaching, and assessment more inclusive of every child.

It considers the reasonable adjustments teachers can make to support children with additional and different needs, and it examines the role oracy and reading for pleasure can play in ‘levelling the playing field’ for disadvantaged learners in helping them compete equitably with their peers. Providing a practical roadmap to ensure lesson planning, teaching strategies, and assessment methods are inclusive of every child, the chapters cover:

- Inclusive curriculum planning

- Talking to students’ lived experiences

- Adaptive teaching and reasonable adjustments

- Assistive technologies

- Attainment gaps including those caused by gender, ethnicity, SEND, socio-economic deprivation, mobility, and being in care

- Belonging and well-being

- Oracy and reading for pleasure

Offering actionable guidance and strategies, the book sets out the practical ways teachers can create a classroom environment where all students can thrive. As such, it is essential reading for all teachers and school leaders who want to give every child an equitable chance of success at school and in later life.
