Inclusive schools in Bangalore are dedicated to providing a supportive learning environment for students with diverse abilities and needs, ensuring equal opportunities for all. These inclusive schools focus on integrating students with special educational needs into mainstream classrooms with personalized learning plans, trained staff, and accessible facilities. By fostering inclusivity and creating a culture of respect, these schools help children develop academically, socially, and emotionally, promoting a sense of belonging for every student. Insighte regularly conduct surveys to create detailed checklists that help schools, special educators and parents enhance inclusivity and provide better support for children with diverse learning needs.
Our inclusivity checklist was meticulously developed through a comprehensive survey involving various stakeholders, including supporters, teachers, principals, parents, and alumni. Designed using Carter analysis, the survey ensured thorough data collection and categorization, focusing on eight key factors that contribute to an inclusive educational environment:
1) Accessibility and Facilities: Wheelchair accessibility, elevators or ramps, accessible restrooms.
2) Support Services: Shadow teacher facility, specialized equipment for sensory impairments, onboarding assessments.
3) Inclusive Curriculum and Instruction: Curriculum adaptations, differentiated instruction strategies, assistive technologies.
4) Transition Planning: Support during grade transitions, transition plans for post-secondary education or vocational training.
5) Behavioral Support and Positive Behavior Intervention: Strategies for positive behavior promotion, social-emotional learning programs.
6) Communication and Collaboration: Regular progress meetings, parent involvement in decision-making.
7) Safety and Inclusion: Measures to prevent bullying, inclusion in extracurricular activities.
8) Training and Professional Development: Staff training on inclusive education practices.
Scoring System
Each component was scored based on the level of accommodation provided by the school:
0: The school does not have that component at all.
1: The school has partial components.
2: The school fully accommodates that component.
These scores were tallied to provide an overall inclusivity score for each school, resulting in a comprehensive and easy-to-read checklist for parents and special educators.
