Inclusion in the Classroom What does it really mean to feel included at school and what gets in the way? This resource simplifies a rich study that explored how secondary school students and teachers experience inclusion during lessons. It looked at what helps young people feel like they belong, what makes them feel left out, and how teachers navigate the challenges of creating inclusive classrooms. Through interviews, reflections, and discussions using real classroom photos, the study uncovered the emotional, relational, and practical layers of inclusion, showing that it’s complex, changeable, and deeply personal. 💬 You'll find out what inclusion looks like in real classrooms, why it’s not just about special educational needs, and how relationships and emotions play a crucial role. 📌 Whether you're an educator, parent, or policymaker, this resource offers thoughtful takeaways and practical steps to help you support more inclusive learning environments for all students. 🔗 Want to explore the full research? Comparing young people with and without SEND and teaching staff’s experiences of ‘inclusions’ in English secondary school classrooms.
