ABSTRACT

As a result of inclusive learning, inspection has as its focus learning and the effectiveness of the learning process. Learning support will no longer be inspected as part of the territory of the learning support tutors but it will be observed in all classrooms. Inspectors will observe the experiences of individual students, the range of provision and the support for them, as well as course content. They will report on how well teaching and training meet both individuals’ needs and course and programme requirements. They will evaluate and report on the extent to which learners, irrespective of their age, gender, race, ethnicity, learning difficulty or disability, acquire knowledge and skills.
