    Embedding Ordinarily Available Provision (OAP) within High Quality Inclusive Teaching – 26-27 Cohort 2

    This programme aims to ensure best practice of high-quality inclusive teaching in all classrooms, all of the time. Exploration of the published HIAS guidance: Ordinarily available provision and special educational needs and disabilities support will be a key thread of this programme as we explore approaches to implementation across different settings.

    Sessions will provide opportunities to reflect on current practice, identifying strengths and next steps for your school to ensure effective implementation of high-quality inclusive teaching and ordinarily available provision. Throughout the programme, there will be opportunities to hear from experts from across educational services in Hampshire related to the specific needs of your school.

    The course price entitles each school to bring up to two delegates to the sessions. The aim is that the leader of teaching and learning, who has strategic oversight, attends with a classroom teacher to facilitate an open dialogue about the school’s specific context and to enable change at both classroom and whole school level.
