What is the approach used by the Advisory Inclusion Teacher at IEC?

An Advisory Inclusion Teacher (AIT) provides a range of services to remove barriers to inclusion and promote the achievement of individual pupils and groups of pupils within school settings including consultation, assessment, advice, strategies, interventions and training opportunities.  This involves working closely with parents, carers and other adults involved in a child’s educational journey. 

This child-centred approach seeks to identify a child’s learning style(s) and individual needs within the context of the educational setting that they are a part of, and enhance their experience through strategies, interventions and collaborative work with parents and other adults involved in their schooling. It also aims at providing schools and educational staff with the knowledge and skills to deliver evidence based interventions and overall a better quality of education.
