Teachers the world over are in a key position to make the goals of The Dakar Framework for Action, Education for All: Meeting our Collective Commitments as expressed at the Dakar World Education Forum in 2000 happen. Although the grassroots work might sometimes appear 'small' or 'of limited interest', the success of achieving those goals is built in the classroom. Particularly relevant goals for any teacher are: - ensuring that all children have access to and complete free and compulsory primary education of good quality; - ensuring that the learning needs of all young people and adults are met through equitable access to appropriate learning; - improving all aspects of the quality of education. This material was developed to facilitate and support inclusive education. It is meant to help us become better at teaching all students together regardless of their abilities, disabilities or background of experiences. The suggestions, strategies, and learning activities are here for you to choose what you might like to try in your classroom. The material is divided into five units; each unit introduces different suggestions, strategies and activities. Strategies within each unit may be tried and used separately. The last unit brings together various components and strategies from the other units. This is done just to show how the various components and strategies can work together. The five units of this material are: 1. Curriculum Differentiation and Our Students; 2. Environmental Strategies; 3. Instructional Learning Strategies; 4. Assessment Strategies; 5. Curriculum Differentiation: Putting It Together. For Facilitation is a practical tool, following each unit, which offers some suggestions for teachers to use in the classroom. Even though the material is set up for individual teachers to read and use, we hope that teachers will have the opportunity to work together. At the end of this book, there are three sections: 1. Sample Lessons; 2. Glossary of Terms; 3. References. In the Sample Lessons section, five example lessons are provided. These lessons demonstrate various methods and activities used to differentiate the curriculum. (DIPF/Orig.).
