Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership
Target
Give teachers the support to encourage full participation from students with disability.
Approach
AITSL found a gap in their current teacher resources for ‘Strategies to support full participation of students with disability’.
We targeted our training videos and supportive resources to a specific audience for maximum impact. The four categories were:
Culture
Communication
Language
Solutions
Each aligned with the four different teacher career stages; Graduate, Proficient, Highly Accomplished and Lead. For example, we specifically designed Culture videos for Lead teachers, as they set the examples and make cultural change within the school.
Outcome
Our videos featured GSA Associates with a range of physical, sensory, psychosocial and intellectual disabilities. The content drew upon their personal experience both in school and in life. We designed this first-hand disability-led content to give teachers more confidence to set career pathways for students with disability.
