Take Notice
OUTREACHSAALED strives to meet the training needs of previously disadvantaged educators and parents in order to assist them with inclusive practices. This is done in the form of Congress outreach and specific detailed training programmes. All outreach training is structured according to the needs expressed in the community. Congress Outreach
Outreach workshops will also be held in Venda and Soweto.
In 2011 seven sessions on barrier specific training will be done to allow previously disadvantaged educators and parents from Soweto, Eldorado Park and Lenasia to access expert information on supporting learners with barriers in inclusive settings. The Southern Cape branch of SAALED also plays an active role in serving the schools and communities in outlying parts of the district attempting to identify and address specific needs. In May 2010 SAALED members delivered an interactive talk at Rheenendal Primary School on the topic Listening for Learning. All staff members, including the principal, attended and participated with questions and lively contributions. The discussion covered effective listening conditions, healthy attitudes towards listening, the development of listening skills, and specific listening required for reading and writing. The influence of classroom discourse on the development of literacy, numeracy, and maths skills also proved to be of great interest to the teachers. This kind of informal "round table" presentation allows teachers to introduce their own areas of concern and thereby to reap maximum benefit from the session. Shared Experience
The Inclusive and Supportive Education congress at Queen’s University in Belfast is one of the world’s premier conferences on inclusive education. Six SAALED members became part of an international audience of academics, policymakers and practitioners who interacted with colleagues from around the world during symposiums, roundtable discussion, debates and workshops. Inclusive and supportive education for all learners regardless of age, background or individual needs was promoted to the sharing of research, knowledge and expertise of the many delegates. ISEC was organise around five core themes, diversity, inclusion, children’s rights, collaboration and debates. The SAALED team comprising of Dr Elizabeth Walton, Gugu Masondo, Nick Serra, and Melodie Hougaard presented a seminar entitled “Inclusion in South Africa: Good in Parts”, who did SAALED proud both as representatives of our association and as fellow South Africans. Their shared aspects of inclusive practice in varied contexts within our schooling system. The SAALED team was most privileged to spend time with Professor Roy McConkey in Belfast. Attendance at international congresses of this level creates opportunities for networking with people with a passion for inclusive education. SAALED will be welcoming a number of these international delegates to the SAALED Congress in Cape Town.
