teacher + school support

Inclusive Education Partners practices from the belief that relationships are at the core of impactful teaching and that behaviour is communication. Sometimes even experienced teachers encounter a student who is a real puzzle. Teachers may feel unprepared or struggle to connect with students whose behaviour is hard to understand.
