Abstract

Collaborative decision-making resides at the core of effective inclusion models. In this subject participants learn effective practice in the processes of interpersonal, cross-disciplinary, and organisational collaboration and consultation. Practical application of skills in inclusive settings is required. It is assumed that teachers are required to collaborate with a variety of professionals and families.
Capacity is built in collaboration skills, collaborative problem solving, teamwork and evaluation of the collaborative process, all of which involve working with trans-disciplinary teams in the inclusive school.
