The dyslexia and inclusive practice professional learning resource is a free resource developed by Education Scotland and the Making Sense Working Group. It aims to support practitioners, schools and local authorities to:

• improve the quality of educational outcomes for learners with dyslexia 
• evidence the impact of the collaborative enquiry through evidence-based improvements
• fulfil statutory duties
• support professional learning on inclusive practice
• further develop inclusive practice for all learners within the school community
• develop opportunities to share practice and reduce duplication of resource development

Levels of awareness and readiness for change will vary across schools and local authorities. This resource can be used to focus on areas for improvement. It can also be used to inform whole-school inclusive practice.

Improving Inclusive practice for all learners

The resource focuses on eight areas highlighted by stakeholders which would support improvements for all learners, including learners with dyslexia.

The selection of these areas is supported by evidence from inspection, research and project work carried out by the European Agency for special Needs and Inclusive Education.

Improvement questions

1. Have we successfully established an inclusive school community? How do we know – what is the evidence and impact?
2. Are all our school policies and planning methods inclusive – do they fulfil the statutory and professional duties?
3. How do we consult with and involve all stakeholders in the self-evaluation of inclusive practice and support for dyslexia?
