Effective inclusion in the classroom shouldn't be a burden; it should be the most rewarding aspect of a teacher's role.'An excellent guide to changing approaches to inclusion and creating a culture where all children can flourish.' SEN MagazineIn this innovative guide to supporting the most vulnerable students, experts Daniel Sobel and Sara Alston help primary and secondary teachers understand the barriers to children's learning. Emphasising the importance of meeting needs rather than focusing on diagnosis, they provide proven differentiation methods that maximise learning for the whole class, while reducing stress and saving time for the teacher. Guiding teachers through all the different phases of a single lesson, from starters to plenaries, the unique format of The Inclusive Classroom will help bring inclusion to the forefront of any lesson plan. Each chapter contains simple, effective actions to differentiate and improve learning outcomes for students vulnerable to underachievement, including those traditionally labelled SEN, EAL, pupil premium, looked after and young carers. Also provided are back-up ideas for when things don't go to plan, real-life anecdotes from teachers, and instructions on how to rethink traditional diagnoses and instead prioritise strengths and participation needs.

"Why a book on humor for teachers?" After dodgy decades of teaching in high schools infamous for gang entanglements, students behaving badly and apathetic administrators, followed by time in a middle school art room dubbed the "snake pit," I cheerfully accepted an adjunct position at a nearby university and enrolled in a doctoral program. My heart goes out to teachers of all ages who sit in my humor sessions sharing stories that would make your heart pound. Inevitably, a teacher would ask, "Where can I get your book?" The pages of this book come from times with my students when something funny made learning happen. There were plenty of days when I felt like running into the woods screaming, but the best days were filled with tinkling moments enrobed in rollicking laughter, days I would happily relive again. Humor has both saved and served me as a teaching resource, a way to live connected to students, and a soft place to land when the burden of teaching knocks me over with the weight of it. This book is for teachers everywhere who share my need to laugh in order to thrive and survive. It is filled with amusing scenarios and specific humor tools any teacher can use to boost student creativity, attention, engagement, and performance. It is also a guide for teacher educators, administrators and professional development staff to consider, as it explains how synthesizing joyful humor with instructional content and delivery safeguards teachers' emotional wellbeing, and classroom performance.

"This essential guide for working with PDA pupils outlines effective and practical ways that teachers and school staff can support these pupils, by endorsing a child-led approach to learning and assessment. Beginning with an introduction to PDA and how it can affect the education experience, the book is then followed by thoughtful, useful strategies school staff can implement to build a collaborative relationship with pupils and help them to thrive in the school environment. The activities presented aim to make children more comfortable and at ease, and therefore better able to learn. It covers key issues for children with PDA, such as sensory issues, preferred language and phrasing of demands, social skills, and recognising distressed behaviour. The chapter summaries and simple activities listed throughout make this a useful tool for busy teaching staff working with PDA pupils"--
