Yarrilee Whole School Inclusion Model for Supporting Diverse Learners.

Students experience inclusive education when they can access and fully participate in learning, alongside their similar-aged peers, supported by reasonable adjustments and teaching strategies tailored to meet their individual needs. Inclusion is embedded in all aspects of school life, and is supported by culture, policies and every day practices.

Our Whole School Framework for Supporting Diverse Learners is a model which ensures all students receive the time and support they need to be successful.

This includes those in need of support with academic learning, communication, social emotional learning, behaviour learning; those who have educational support needs arising from disability and those learning English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D). Cultural and linguistic background, socio- economic status and mental health and wellbeing contribute to the diversity and complexity of student learning needs.

A whole school approach to Diverse Learning directs support to different levels of student need. Three layers provide a continuum of support with increasingly focused and personalised teaching and intervention and behaviour, and involvement of support staff.
