Enabling Inclusive Education in North Karnataka Districts - India

This project aims to build capacity of selected primary teachers in the area of Inclusive Education through 5-days of inclusive Education training and the 3 rounds of in-school Support. These trainings will enable teachers to become more inclusive in nature, which provides opportunity to all children to participate in the learning process.

Challenges:

Provision of inclusive education involving students with disabilities is based on the belief that those with disabilities should not have to depend on specialized services alone, to benefit from educational resources, activities and practices that are otherwise available to all. Which means, provisions made are considerate of all members and not just from specific groups or, with special abilities, disabilities , and / or needs. Our schools and classrooms need to reflect this social, constitutional and legal right of every child to be included in the educational processes and practices- our classroom, now more so than before, need to be ready to include students from different backgrounds, with differing needs and abilities.

Solution:

The Teacher Foundation will train 125 teachers of Government primary schools in Haveri & Yadgir region of Karnataka state, India.Our 5 days of training modules on 1) Understanding Inclusion 2) Curriculum Adaptations 3) Dealing with Multiple Disabilities 4) Evaluation Procedures & 5) Disability Specific Inclusive Classroom settings interspersed with three rounds of classroom observation and feedback will enable teachers to think and practice inclusive approach in their school and classrooms which address the issues of being left out the children with special needs in these two districts.

Project progress:

The Teacher Foundation will train 125 teachers on Inclusive education training modules. We commenced the project with a baseline observation of 30% teachers.  We observe the teachers using a checklist - Classroom Observation Checklist which focuses 4 main domains - Teacher Student Interaction; Physical Environment; Teaching Learning Methodology and Assessment.  

90 teachers have been trained from the two districts on all the 5 modules. Remaining 35 teachers have undergone 3 days of training and yet to undergo final 2 days of training. We have completed first round of School Based Support (in-school support) for 90 teachers.

Remaining deliverables like 2 days of training for 35 teachers, 2nd & final round of School Based Support to all 125 teachers will be scheduled in the month of November / Deecember 2016
