Presentation Topic and Synopsis
Adopting the Co-Teaching Approach to Enhance Inclusive Practices in the Classroom
What is the co-teaching approach? How does it provide a sturcture for the Early Childhood and Early Intervention sectors to enhance inclusive practices in the classroom? How can it positively influence children of diverse needs in the preschool setting?
In the Singapore preschool landscape, the Early Childhood (EC) and Early Intervention (EI) fraternity has traditionally worked quite separately. With greater emphasis on inclusion in the early childhood sector in Singapore, more students with diverse needs are gaining access to preschool education. This presentation will introduce participants to the co-teaching model and shed light on the positive influence this approach can deliver.
