In this week’s lecture and seminars we worked on how people that have a disability maybe affected by their surroundings and environments. We discussed what can be done to include everyone in all aspects of society. During the seminar we looked at specific scenarios and discussed with our peers if they showed discriminatory practice, once we had decided on an answer we listed our reasons and came up with ideas on what could be done so that no one is discriminated against.
Even though people may have good intentions, the actions they take may not portray the true meaning of what they were trying to get across.
As a group we have agreed that: good practice for one child is good practice for all children.
As future teachers we should be aware and promote anti-discriminary practice.
This is a photo of the work we done in the seminar.
Todays lecture was based around society and inclusion.
Being an open-minded person I find this subject interesting. I an interested in learning more about how to promote diversity and inclusion within the classroom setting. I am also interested in learning about the history of exclusion and how we have developed as a society.
I understood the concepts discussed during the lecture and seminars. I built on my pre-existing knowledge. I had a very basic understanding of the Equality Act 2010 through doing Modern Studies at secondary school. I now understand more about the act and how it came to be.
During our seminar we were asked to create a drawing that showed discrimination we had witnessed. My group discussed how the word ‘gay’ was often used to cause offence in school. People did not understand the meaning of the word fully and the did not think of the consequences of what they were saying. Many of my friends are in same-sex relationships. I have always been open-minded to the issue. As a group we discussed how being in a same-sex relationship is more acceptable now.
This is the group work we produced in class.
