The AWWA Inclusion Experts Series (AIES) is back with a bang on 19 March 2022, Saturday, 9.30am – 1pm! As we mark our 10th AIES session, we are excited to celebrate how far we have come in building more inclusive classrooms. Themed “Inclusion in Action: Reflect and Reimagine”, the session will feature a panel of international and local speakers. Joining us at the webinar is Minister of State for Social and Family Development and Education, Ms Sun Xueling.
We are delighted to have with us once more, Kim Barthel, keynote speaker for this event. Kim is back to help us to reflect on our current practices, and to reimagine how we want things to be for students with additional needs, and for all. Joining Kim are also local speakers, forming a diverse panel of experts who can help us shape the conversation on inclusive education as we take the next steps. Keynote Speaker: Pioneer speaker at the first ever AWWA Inclusion Experts Series session, Ms Kim Barthel, is back to join us at the 10th AIES session, “Inclusion in Action: Reflect and Reimagine”.
Outline of Kim’s session:
– Looking through both a therapeutic and an educational lens, Kim’s presentation will highlight our history with inclusion, and illuminate current evidence-informed best practices in inclusive pedagogy, philosophy, and day-to-day classroom engagement.
– A global perspective will be offered to encourage therapists and educators to consider common challenges that are faced across the world, and to be inspired to create a more pragmatic and compassionate society for all of us.
– Highlighting examples of inclusion in action within various context including Singapore and beyond, will encourage participants to want to further explore what might be possible.
– The intention is to expand our own creative perspectives so that we might individually and collectively continue to make this broader journey across the sector with purpose. Local Speakers: Catch local speakers, Ms Lim Lee Ting, Vice Principal, Little Mighty Me Preschool and Mr J R Karthikeyan (Karthik), Chief Executive Officer, AWWA, as they touch on the topic of “Engaging Diverse Participation in Schools”.
