Let's

Welcome to the first edition of the Inclusive
Education and Allied Health project newsletter! The QUT team will
use these newsletters to keep in regular contact with everyone
who attended the February workshops. In the newsletters, you will
find information, additional readings, and ideas to help you and

Over 60
attendees from 14 schools and corporate staff attended the
February workshops in Darwin and Alice Springs! The aim of these
workshops was to support foundational knowledge of what inclusive
education is (and is not), the legal foundations of inclusion,
the fundamental concepts of inclusive education, and ways of
working with allied health professionals in inclusive education.
Workshop feedback from educators in Alice Springs indicated that
93.3% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that they knew
more about inclusive education after the workshop.

All
participating schools now have a copy of Inclusive
Education for the 21st Century: Theory, Policy, and Practice
(Graham, 2024). Further reading about topics covered at the
workshops, can be found in:
► Chapter 1: What is inclusion… and what is it not?
► Chapter 3: Inclusive education as a human right
► Chapter 4: Fundamental concepts of inclusive education ►
Chapter 5: The legal foundations of inclusion
► Chapter 18: Collaborating with colleagues and other
professionals
Why not keep the conversation going with
your school team by reading a chapter (or an excerpt from a
chapter) ahead of a staff meeting, where you can have a 15-minute
focused discussion on the chapter.
