: The Inclusive Classroom: Adapting your teaching for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Session two of the Inclusive Teaching Series

Creating an inclusive classroom and school is not the responsibility of a single practitioner. Our free online twilight programme provides senior leaders, subject leads, and classroom teachers with actionable, evidence-informed strategies to tackle the most pressing priorities facing teachers today.

From whole-school Pupil Premium planning to classroom-level strategies for inclusive teaching , effective checking, talk, and metacognition, each session translates the latest EEF guidance into high-impact, day-to-day practice tailored to your setting and classroom.

The Inclusive Teaching Series runs throughout the academic year, with online sessions from 3:30pm to 5:00pm. Delivered by Tudor Grange Research School Evidence Leads in Education (ELEs), and supported by Research School Director Tom Pole and Deputy Director Amarbeer Singh Gill.

All sessions are suitable for teachers and leaders of all phases and settings, simply select which session you would like to attend via the Register for this event button,’ and meeting links will be emailed to you.
