The educational and digital support centre (PAPN) offers you a focus on the inclusive teaching approach.

This approach is intended to develop all learners’ full potential by recognising their diversity and individual learning needs. It considers that disability is the result of the interaction between an individual and their environment and, accordingly, recommends an adaptation of the environment to include students with disabilities. Adopting this approach reduces the number of accommodation requests and allows students with invisible disabilities not to reveal their disability.

The inclusive teaching approach is an educational process that aims to ensure the success and well-being of all learners, regardless of their differences or special needs. This approach is based on the premise that education should be tailored to the needs of each learner rather than forcing them to adapt to a unique model.

The inclusive teaching approach is based in particular on the following principles:

  1. Recognition and promotion of the diversity of learners: each learner is unique and has specific skills and needs. Educational inclusion involves recognising and valuing the diversity of learners.
  2. Adapting the teaching to the learners’ needs: the inclusive teaching approach means adapting the teaching to learners’ needs, using pedagogical methods tailored to their profile.
  3. Collaboration between the various stakeholders in education: in order for educational inclusion to be a success, it is important to work with parents, teachers, education professionals and the learners themselves.
  4. Accessibility to education: the inclusive teaching approach means ensuring access to education for all learners, especially those with special needs.

Universal design for learning is a tool that can help teachers adapt their courses to meet the learning needs of all students.
