Inclusive Learning

When teachers try to create a safe and inclusive classroom, they should first consider the syllabus, course content, course preparation, teachers’ own behavior, and teachers’ understanding of students’ background and skills. The resources in this section provide specific strategies to meet these factors and enhance the learning atmosphere for all students. And promote learning by encouraging, prompting, interacting and exploring good questioning skills, such as “How do you know it’s right-can you tell me how to do it?”. Teachers provide 3-4 activities to solve multiple learning styles and let students make choices. For example, in spelling activities, students can choose to cut and paste letters from newspapers, or use magnetic letters to manipulate words. At a small meeting, teachers can provide many learning operations and opportunities for group learning. In an inclusive classroom, teachers will distinguish teaching content as much as possible, which will benefit students with disabilities and non-disabled students because it will provide more personal attention.

The main key to inclusive learning is that students need to be proactive-not passive learning. Teachers should encourage children to make as many choices as possible so that students have time to find some of the most powerful sources of learning, and learn from risks and mistakes.

The  pandemic has disrupted people’s daily lives. Schools are closed, parents are working from home or suddenly unemployed, and many people are affected by the ban on footing at home. People’s daily rhythms are all disrupted. With the spread of the Covid-19, how should teachers teach children? For example, in the class “Dinosaurs and the Environment”, the teacher can let the children share their ideal earth drawing through Zoom, and share their views on environmental pollution. Since they can’t go out, they can change the observation of the surrounding environment to their own yard or house. And also can let  the children to collect and share information about environmental pollution from newspapers and magazines.
