Our online course "Inclusive education" in English is now up and running and available to anyone, free of charge!
We created this e-learning course for all of you, who are involved with education in one way or another.
Throughout this course, you will have the opportunity to explore your attitudes, to assess what you know about inclusive education and learn more about it.
The course consists of four modules:
- The first module “Concepts and Perspectives” follows the conception and development of the idea of inclusive education: its essence and the dimensions of its practical application.
- In the second module “The Inclusive Team” you will learn how the inclusive team works, who are its members, what are the skills they need to have, what principles they need to abide by and what good practices they have to apply.
- In the third module “Inclusive Systems” you will learn about the levels at which inclusion happens within a learning system: from the classroom, through the school, to the wider community.
- In module four “The One School for All Model” you will learn about ELA’s Model for building an inclusive school environment, including the Model’s domains, the process and the principles of its application.
Who is this course aimed for?
Everyone, who’s interested in inclusive education and feels involved with the improvement of the educational landscape.
How is the course structured and how long does it take to complete?
The course is structured into four modules, each of which consists of three sections. The course can be accessed at all times and there are no time constraints for its completion. Our experience shows that if you work without interruption, you can take the course within eight hours. Every module ends with an assessment quiz – the result of this quiz determines the successful completion of the module and the combined results of all quizzes determine the successful completion of the course. To save your progress, please make sure to press the SAVE PROGRESS button. Upon the successful completion of the course, you will receive a certificate. You can download your certificate from the Achievements section in your user account. Please, note that your given name and family name will be displayed on the certificate the same way you entered them during registration.
The course also contains several self-assessment questionnaires, that are not graded and have no impact on the successful completion of the course. The results of these questionnaires are for your own information only.
