, GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO
THE STUDY GUIDE
In this module, TEACHING STRATEGIES FOR INCLUSIVITY, you will be
introduced to a range of learning theories and related teaching strategies for
learners with diverse needs, interests and abilities. You will be guided to select the
most appropriate strategies tailored to your individual learners’ needs. This will
enable you to design a learning programme based on curriculum differentiation for
learners with specific barriers to learning.
In addition, you will understand the roles and responsibilities of the Institutional
Support Team working to enhance the learning potential of learners with diverse
needs. This will enable you to reflect on the effectiveness of inclusion strategies in
relation to individual learners’ development and learning. Finally, you will also
analyse and assess a range of classroom management styles.
The purpose of this module is to:
● analyse learning theories and identify how they influence teaching strategies se-
lected in an inclusive education setting
● design a learning programme in which curriculum differentiation is imple-
mented for learners with specific barriers to learning
● assess the applicability of various teaching strategies
● analyse and assess classroom management styles
