Research taster
Delivering inclusive education is a challenge for teachers working to reduce the barriers to learning and participation for all pupils. Teachers responding to the needs of pupils who are, or might be, marginalised can enhance the quality of education for all pupils. 
Your evidence
You might like to invite a small group of pupils (3-4) to talk about their experiences of teaching and learning and to explore their ideas about and perceptions of barriers to participation. You could ask pupils what helps them to learn, what they think makes a good piece of work, or how they feel when you respond to their work. You could also ask them what they think gets in the way and prevents them from learning (barriers). Reflect on what they say. Are their insights useful in creating a more inclusive classroom? Moving forward To develop from your initial discussions you might like to try regular chats with a range of pupils from your class to gain a cross section of feedback on the barriers they face to inclusion. This could be a productive way of giving pupils a voice and a sense of ownership for their learning and teaching.
