Shannon & Bylsma (2007) state that high performing schools place a strong
emphasis on training staff in areas identified as critical (p. 94). Feedback from
focuses on ongoing professional development which is closely aligned to
school objectives (Shannon & Bylsma, 2007, p. 94). In Freyers (2012)
experiment, a four-pronged professional development plan was used to
ensure teachers were able to meet the needs of all students: 1) curriculum
and instruction training, 2. lesson planning and differentiation, 3. a toolbox for
classroom management and student engagement, and 4. ensuring teachers
had prompt, concrete feedback on their instructional practices after
observations (p. 11).
Supportive Learning Environments
Shannon & Bylsma (2007) discuss the importance of creating learning
environments which are safe, healthy and intellectually stimulating. All should
students feel respected and connected (p. 107). The Victorian DE supports
this ideal, and acknowledges the significance of inclusive schools creating an
environment where students feel welcome, valued and cared for (2006, p. 6).
