Research School Network: Inclusive Teaching Webinar Series- Literacy as an Inclusion Strategy Literacy as an Inclusion Strategy

This webinar explores how literacy can be a powerful lens for your Inclusion Strategy, drawing on Sarah Bagshaw-McCormick’s recent writing and work on literacy, equity and school improvement.

We will consider how leaders can identify literacy related barriers, understand the needs of different pupils and develop a coordinated whole school response. The session will connect evidence with practical guidance to help you consider what this means for provision, curriculum, culture and resource use in your own setting.
