11:15 Ordinarily available inclusive provision (OAIP): Listening, Learning, Leading - Facilitated by the Devon Inclusion and Learning teams
This interactive session invites delegates to explore the Ordinarily Available Inclusive Practice (OAIP) themes through collaboration, reflection and solution‑focused discussion. Working in small groups, delegates will connect with colleagues around an OAIP them, such as relational practice, attendance and belonging, transitions, learning environments, or working with parent carers and CYP.
The session is designed to celebrate what schools are doing well, share effective approaches, and strengthen inclusive practice across the system. Delegates will spend time sharing examples of successful strategies before moving into a structured, solution‑focused circle to problem‑solve a real challenge related to their chosen theme.
By the end of the hour, the group will have:
-
-
- Shared practical, tried‑and‑tested approaches to inclusive practice
- Explored solutions to a challenge raised by a group member
- Contributed to a collective picture of what is working well in schools across the area
