BA Professional Practice: Inclusion in Education
the eduactional rescorces in my work placement have led me have a first hand introduction to how inclusion and education can be developed hand in hand. The line of inquiry that i am now exploring is how this reationship is developed in a 'maintstream' educational setting.
My interest lies within the merge of these two concepets and what can be impelemented in order to achieve a succesful outcome.
Teacher training is a huge contributoer this and, in my oppinion, would allow schools to build a collective understanding of inclusion and how it can best develop an individuals achievment. Alternative assesment methods and the introduction of different resorces for both teaching and practical purposes are something that i would love to introduce and discuss within a maintstream school setting.

TASK 4C: SIG'S
Having created my own WIKI, joined the facebook SIG and commented amound people within the course, i decided to take my SIG into the professional community at Chickenshed.
I used the questions that i had formulated in my previous blog to to set up a series of different interview/discussions with a variation of staff memebers within the compnay.

I used the questions that i had formulated in my previous blog to to set up a series of different interview/discussions with a variation of staff memebers within the compnay.
My questions:
Wtihin my workplace, how is the measure of standard procedure balanced with our own methodology?
How far does the individual's requirements affect the outcome of work before it become unbalanced?
At BTEC level, is it necessary to formally equipp a student with the knowledge of the company's beliefs before the arts training begins? should it be and ongoing process?
At what point does the process' of running a charity ever hinder the charity's intent/beliefs? if ever?
I have recorded these discussions and saved them for my personal diaries as they're aswers and opinions are more for my own interest. However what it showed me was the use of extending my special interest group out of the 'study' group. Talking to people who are proffesional within my subject and are working in ways that inspire me, was an eye opener into how my education can be turned into the reality of a proffesion.
This may sound like a 'corney' comment but i was genuwinley suprised at how in oare i felt.
Of course as with any interview process i was then able to compare and contrast the responses to the questions which then led my inquiries down other avenues.
for example: my orgional question was:
How far does the individual's requirements affect the outcome of work before it become unbalanced?
after analysing and evaluationg my responses my new question is:
how should an workshop leader's training be supported in order to avoid trial and error? or should error always be part of the process even at the cost of a participant?

Task 4a: my questions
Chickenshed being a charity run establishment, automatically creates and interdiserplinery environment. However the term 'interdiserplinery' could refer to the cogs of a chartity:- the disapline/practice
- fundraising
- business acknowledgement
- practical maintence
- members/staff etc
Of course these are all elements of practice that Chickenshed adhere to and completley acknowledge the importance of, however there also elements that we believe to be just as vital in order for the charity to run:

Professional Inquiry course reader 4: my views
After reading the course reader on 'Proffessional Inquiry' it got me thinking about the '3 way interest' in my own workplace:
This quote is one that reflects the nature of the both the thought and practical process' used by Chickenshed and is the summary of "anti-pigeon holing" for me.
A wall that i constantly face from outside/'mainstream' practitioners is the need to put my work and methodolgy into a box. But has the above states, how can any of us by equipped for a "box" when the world around us is constantly changing through influence of its indivudials?
Fincance Development of the work, spreading the method
As outlined in the reader, our WBL courseuses the workplace as a 'content of learning' and uses a 'problem based approach'. At firs this approach seemed a fairly negative one to me as the nature of my work consists of trying to avoid probelms from the outset in order to maintain the comfort and accessability for both the work and the individual. However, on reflection i realised that in order to to avoid problems they must be considerd in order to put the corrrect strategies in place to avoid them.
A quote that caught my eye in the reader was this:
"Being equipped with multiple “tools of learning” may not be sufficient a
preparation for a world that is characterized also, increasingly, by uncertainty (Barnett,
2000, 2007)"This quote is one that reflects the nature of the both the thought and practical process' used by Chickenshed and is the summary of "anti-pigeon holing" for me.
