Abstract

In this video, Emma McKinney discusses the importance of using a variety of teaching methods to include all children in the classroom. She discusses the importance of using multimedia and visual props (and describing visual props for the benefit of students with visual impairments), using different kinds of learning activities (individual, paired activities and group learning), and using positive feedback. She mentions the possible changes to assessment to include students with different learning needs, such as oral examination, using different kinds of media (e.g. large text, colour differentiation, etc.) to assist children with different learning needs. Lastly she stresses the benefit of asking the children themselves and others involved in their education, such as parents or community members, for other ways in which they can be included through more accessible pedagogy and materials.
