📢 The EEF publishes a new Guide to Inclusive Teaching
The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) has released a new guide designed to support teachers and school leaders to help every pupil participate and succeed in school.
The resource focuses on improving outcomes for pupils with additional needs, recognising that many pupils face multiple barriers to learning.
At its core is a two-part model:
- Strong universal provision
- Effective adaptations and support
It includes:
🔹 Practical, evidence-informed approaches to inclusive teaching
🔹 A clear focus on strengthening everyday classroom practice
🔹 Advice on identifying effective adaptations and avoiding those that hinder learning
🔹 Scenario-based training resources to support implementation
Explore the guide here.
