Building Your Inclusive Classroom delves into the compelling rationale behind the necessity of adapting our teaching methodologies and approaches to children and young individuals, with the ultimate goal of fostering the success of every student within the classroom, including the teacher. It serves as a valuable resource for educators working in mainstream settings across all key stages, empowering them to adapt not only their resources but also their approaches for students with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) and their peers. This accessible guide offers a comprehensive toolkit of ideas, methods, and motivation to enable teachers to create fully inclusive classrooms. The chapters present the most effective evidence-based approaches, encompassing both relational, restorative practice, and traditional methods, to provide the foundational framework upon which inclusive classrooms can be built.

The book:
• Offers practical suggestions accompanied by illustrative examples and case studies
• Incorporates reflective questions to prompt readers to assess their current contexts
• Provides clear summaries and breakdowns of key guidelines and concepts
• Effortlessly presents evidence-based approaches in an engaging and accessible manner
• Integrates the perspectives of staff and parents throughout
• Encourages readers to embrace risk-taking, enhance current practices, and drive meaningful change for children and young individuals

Adaptive teaching has evolved beyond the confines of the mini-whiteboard and the writing frame, and it is imperative that we embrace the need to differentiate and adapt our approaches for children with and without diagnosed SEND. This book holds immense significance for mainstream teachers, Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities Co-ordinators (SENDCOs), and trainee teachers across all key stages.
