Creating an inclusive classroom: strategies for new teachers

/0 Comments/in /by

At Mulberry College of Teaching, we are deeply committed to building an inclusive educational environment. This commitment shapes our teaching programmes and guides our post-graduate trainee teachers in creating classrooms where every student feels valued, understood, and supported. Here are strategies to help new teachers create more inclusive classrooms from their very first day.

Understanding diversity in the classroom

Inclusivity starts with understanding the diverse needs of our students. At Mulberry College of Teaching, our teachers recognise and appreciate the varied backgrounds, experiences, and abilities of their students. This understanding is critical in planning lessons that are accessible to all learners and reflect and celebrate the diversity of East London.

Culturally responsive teaching

We emphasise the importance of culturally responsive teaching, which involves recognising the cultural backgrounds of students and integrating this awareness into your teaching practice. This approach enhances student engagement and builds a learning environment where students see their identities reflected and respected in the curriculum.

Adaptivity and accessibility

Adaptive teaching is key to meeting the needs of all students. This might include varying your teaching methods,adapting materials, or using technology to enhance learning accessibility. Mulberry College of Teaching supports our post-graduate trainee teachers through bespoke coaching on effective adaptive teaching techniques, ensuring that you can cater to the specific learning styles and needs of each student.

Creating a supportive classroom culture

Building a classroom culture that promotes inclusion, diversity and aspiration involves establishing norms and practices that encourage respect, empathy, and collaboration among students. We guide post-graduate trainee teachers to implement classroom behaviour for learning practices that develop a safe and welcoming environment for all students.

At Mulberry College of Teaching, we believe in the power of reflective teaching practices. New teachers are encouraged to seek and respond to feedback from students and peers about how classroom practices can be improved to be more inclusive. This ongoing process helps teachers develop and refine strategies that support all students effectively.

Engaging with parents, carers and the community

Engaging with the wider community and parents is vital in creating an inclusive teaching environment in East London. As a post-graduate trainee teacher at Mulberry College of Teaching, you will learn to communicate effectively with parents and caregivers, understanding their perspectives and gaining insights that can enhance educational practices.

Lifelong learning through continuous professional development

/0 Comments/in /by

At Mulberry College of Teaching, we recognise that post-graduate teacher training is just the start of a teacher’s learning journey. Our commitment to lifelong learning through continuous professional development (CPD) is ever-evolving. Our programmes are designed to support educators throughout their careers, helping them to adapt, innovate, and lead in their teaching practices.

Commitment to continuous growth

We believe that effective teaching thrives on fresh ideas and new skills. That’s why our CPD is integrated into every stage of a teacher’s career. From the latest pedagogical research to innovative classroom technologies, we ensure our educators are well-equipped to meet the challenges of modern education and inspire young people’s aspirations, engagement and success.

“The schools share an approach which is to support and nurture their trainee teachers to become confident, ambitious and often outstanding practitioners in their subjects. I have certainly felt challenged through my teacher training so far – but at all times supported and offered help and advice by the most experienced and willing of colleagues.” Oliver – trainee teacher

Tailored professional development

Every teacher’s journey is unique, which is why our CPD programmes are as diverse as the educators and students we support. Whether it’s through workshops, seminars, or collaborative projects, we offer a range of opportunities tailored to meet the individual needs and career stages of our teachers. This personalised approach ensures that our educators not only maintain their professional standards but also continue to develop their teaching strategies and leadership skills.

Collaboration and community learning

At the heart of our CPD is the belief in the power of community and collaboration. Mulberry College of Teaching is contributing to a vibrant professional learning community where educators share insights, challenge each other, and grow together. Through regular networking events and peer mentoring, our teachers build strong professional networks that support their personal and career development.

The impact of our sustained focus on CPD is evident in the classrooms of East London and beyond. Teachers who engage in ongoing professional development bring renewed passion and updated skills to their roles, enhancing learning outcomes for young people and enriching the educational experience for all students. Schools across the region report higher levels of teacher satisfaction and improved student performance, reflecting the effectiveness of our comprehensive support system.
