Curriculum Guidance for Schools on Disability Equality

Richard Rieser has been commissioned by the Qualification and Curriculum Authority to collect examples of the ways that schools are currently bringing disability into the curriculum and work with schools to develop exemplars for the QCA website. This will cover all key stages and all subjects. I am looking for schools who would like to try out teaching some modules (3-4 weeks) on disability as part of delivering the national curriculum from Yr 1 to Yr 11 across all subjects.

The Duty to Promote Disability Equality requires all state schools to promote positive attitudes to disabled people from a social model point of view. There are already many ideas how to do this in resources at www.worldofinclusion.org. If you would like to try these out and then write up what you did, how you did it and its impact on pupils or if you already have a scheme of work you would be happy to share please contact us.

The completion date has been extended to February half-term 2010, so please send in any material and comments you have. It will be credited to you and your school, if used, so please also send contact details. Any website materials please send links or if you have material or packs suitable for schools please send. (The template to follow for written material (no more than 2 sides) is attached. download template.

Thanks,

Richard Rieser.
