Inclusive classroom management is a process that creates a supportive learning environment for students, regardless of their backgrounds, abilities, or identities. The concept of inclusivity is to make every student valued, respected and supported in their learning journey.

 

Lately, there has been a growing recognition of the significance of inclusive classroom management. This is the result of the growing diversity of student populations in schools, as well as a greater awareness of the fact that each child learns differently. NEP 2020 also emphasises inclusive educational structure and educational culture in our school education system. Inclusive classroom management is not only advantageous for students from marginalised or underrepresented groups but in fact supports the academic success and well-being of all students.

“The real power of interactive technologies is that they let us learn in ways that aren’t otherwise possible or practical.” – David Lassner, a computer scientist and academic administrator.

Top 5 benefits of an inclusive classroom

The benefits of inclusive classroom management are innumerable and long-lasting. By creating a supportive learning environment that caters to a wide variety of student needs, educators can ensure positive learning outcomes for students. Here are five key benefits of an inclusive classroom.

 

  • Improved academic outcomes

    By its very nature, an inclusive classroom incorporates multiple  teaching strategies and resources, which can support students with varied learning styles and abilities towards achieving conceptual understanding and academic success.

 

  • Increased student engagement

    An inclusive classroom encourages student participation and collaboration, which results in increased interest, motivation and engagement in learning. When students feel valued and included, they are more likely to participate in classroom discussions and activities; ask questions; and share their perspectives. 
  • Positive impact on mental health

    Inclusive classroom management ensures a supportive and safe learning environment, which can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression among students. When students feel supported and valued, they develop positive self-esteem and confidence. 
  • Improved teacher-student relationships

    Inclusivity in classroom management promotes enhanced teacher-student relationships, which can improve trust, communication and mutual respect between students and teachers. This helps ensure a positive and healthy learning environment for students. 

Preparation for the real world

An inclusive classroom prepares learners for life outside the classroom, where they will come across individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Students are better able to adapt to different life situations and experiences; and also develop a healthy respect for diversity of opinion or approach.

Inclusive classroom strategies or stronger teacher-student relationships

Building an inclusive classroom requires intentional effort and thoughtful planning. Here are some inclusive classroom strategies that teachers can implement to promote inclusion and equity in the classroom.

 

  • Use differentiated instruction

    This includes tailoring teaching methods and content to fulfil the learning needs of all students. Educators can implement a variety of instructional methods, like cooperative learning, project-based learning and flexible grouping, to engage students in the learning process. 
  • Create a welcoming and safe classroom environment

    Teachers can build a classroom environment that is safe and friendly by using positive language, displaying inclusive images, and acknowledging student backgrounds and experiences. 
  • Build positive teacher-student relationships

    Building good relationships with students can assist educators in creating a sense of trust and belonging in the classroom. Teachers can do this by being approachable, demonstrating interest in their lives, and creating opportunities for one-on-one interactions. 
  • Incorporate diverse perspectives and resources

    Educators can incorporate diverse perspectives and resources into their teaching materials to equip students with a broader range of experiences and viewpoints. 

Foster collaborative learning

Collaborative learning can help students build social skills and learn from each other. Educators can create opportunities for group work and peer teaching, which helps students build relationships and learn  from each other’s perspectives.
