Collaborative Practice in an Inclusive Environment

Putting Learning into Context

Abstract

This paper developed out of a collaborative opportunity that arose in an independent high school with an inclusive policy at the time that Curriculum 2005 was introduced. Definitions of collaboration and inclusion are offered with a discussion on the inter-relationships between these two concepts and Information Literacy. The paper describes the classroom practice and provides links to examples of the planning and the students’ work. The positive outcomes for both teacher and student learning are described.
