Inclusion: theory and practice : Children, Disability and Development - Achievement and Challenge. Contents
A Save the Children Fund global seminar to learn from experience and maximise impact - Extract from Conference Report - April 13th - 22nd 1994
Facilitator: Marion Molteno
Aims of session:
To get participants to explore
several ways of thinking about education and disability which are often kept in
separate boxes.
Objectives:
1. To look at learning experiences as
being part of a continuum of ability/disability.
2. To explore
everyone's experience of language ability/disability
3. To
investigate cultural assumptions about ability, disability, learning and
appropriate behaviour.
Summary:
This was an active learning session
during which participants divided into groups and then focused on three
teaching tasks relating to language and culture. The first teaching task
involved teaching a craft activity without using any words, the second teaching
some words and phrases in a foreign language only using the language in which
the teacher is teaching, and the third involved using cultural rules and
behaviours in a group situation, where one person was unfamiliar with them.
In the second half of the session, Janet Holdsworth gave a presentation on the Anhui kindergarten project, this was followed by a discussion on integration.
