Making the Classroom Inclusive. Whose job it it anyway? The Morning Break with Jane Ritter

This morning I spoke with Michelle Worgan about inclusion in the classroom. She also talked about her inclusive pedagogies framework which she has made freely available for teachers to use.
Michelle is an ELT materials writer specialising in primary education. She creates and develops quality materials based on her extensive classroom experience and has worked on varied projects for international publishers. She is particularly interested in bridging the gap between ELT and mainstream educational materials and methodologies, with a special interest in learner-centred approaches such as inquiry-based and Project-based learning. She's recently started designing teacher training courses and plans to self-publish her resources around these approaches.
Her beta course, An Introduction to Inclusive Approaches, will be opening its doors later this month. www.michelleworgan.com
