Special Educational Needs
Inclusive Education Uol
Through a group collaborative project, I created a Uol based on inclusive practice in the classroom that is focused on the differentiation of special educational needs.
1st Year - Shadow Puppetry
Theme - Following the pathway of story/ fairy tale, students will create their own shadow puppets in card
​
Aim;
to enable students to learn techniques of shadow puppet-making
to develop storytelling skills through puppetry
to introduce fine motor skills like cutting, observational drawing
to respond to shapes and silhouettes
AEDP: Shape, line, proportion, contrast between light and shade, composition, scale, perspective, colour
Students will make a variety of shadow puppets and a small theatre/display box, in card

Reflection
I found it challenging to gather and edit all the information and knowledge on how to create an inclusive class. There's a lot out there, so navigating yourself through it may be overwhelming but after a while a was able to narrow down what I needed. It then became quite enjoyable to create the lesson plans/artefacts and actually make them. The best part was trying to make the class inclusive, it felt rewarding to know that I am starting to become a teacher whose focus is on inclusion and making students feel like they belong. I learned that the class must accommodate to them, not them to the class.
