1.2
Every person has the right to be educated in a safe & friendly environment, where all individual needs are met. I will explain the meaning of inclusion, equality & diversity.
Inclusion means involving every student in all classroom activities; it is ensuring that nobody is excluded directly on indirectly.
Equality is about giving everyone the right to learn, regardless their age, disability, gender, race, religion and belief and sexual orientation.
Diversity is valuing and promoting differences among students.
It is vital that these are embedded in teaching practice & is crucial to accept that every student is different & that they will have different learning styles & needs. Students may also come from various cultural backgrounds, therefore, whilst preparing my teaching sessions I would ensure that nothing could be viewed as insulting or disrespectful. I encourage my students to be proud of their culture & ensure students respect one another.
