DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
In Victoria, the drive towards disability inclusion within educational settings is gaining momentum, reflecting a broader societal shift towards equality and access for all. In 2024, The Lakes South Morang college will be embarking on a three - year transition into a Disability Inclusion model for teaching and learning. The Disability Inclusion model is guided by principles of equity, respect, and the belief in the potential of every student. The implementation of disability inclusion fosters a sense of belonging among students, improves social and academic outcomes, and prepares all students for a diverse world. Inclusive education also challenges stereotypes and promotes a culture of respect and empathy.
Disability inclusion is a dynamic and evolving journey and one in which we as a college are excited to bring to our community.
Implementing Inclusion: Strategies in Action 1. Individual Education Plans (IEPs) A cornerstone of inclusion is the development of Individual Education Plans (IEPs) for students with disabilities. These plans are tailored to meet the unique needs of each student, outlining specific goals, strategies, and accommodations that will support their learning journey.
2. Professional Development for Staff
Recognizing that teacher preparedness is key to successful inclusion, we will be investing in ongoing professional development. Training focuses on understanding diverse learning needs, implementing inclusive teaching strategies, and using assistive technologies. This ensures that our staff are equipped to support all students effectively.
