New whitepaper: A barrier-led approach to inclusive teaching

Every child deserves to belong, participate and succeed at school. Yet as the number of pupils identified with SEND continues to rise, teachers are being asked to meet increasingly diverse needs within finite time and resources.

Too often, inclusive teaching can feel like an additional layer of work - individual adaptations, separate interventions and strategies organised around diagnostic labels.

We think there’s a more manageable way to make inclusive teaching part of everyday classroom practice.

Written by Steplab’s Krissy Yates, PD Specialist, and Abbie Williams, Content Lead, this whitepaper sets out the thinking behind Steplab’s Inclusive teaching steps - a new barrier-led professional development (PD) curriculum designed to help teachers make high-quality teaching more inclusive.

The paper explores how organising teachers’ knowledge around barriers to learning can support more intentional classroom decisions, strengthen universal provision and help schools embed inclusive practice through sustained PD.

If SEND and inclusion are a priority for your school this term, book a demo with one of the Steplab team to explore our new Inclusive teaching curriculum.
