- Description
- According to the OECD definition of innovative learning environments (ILEs), inclusion is considered a pillar of its design. The depiction of an inclusive ILE from the OECD outlines the importance of including students in ILEs. We wish to argue, however, that the successful implementation of inclusion also needs to address the location of special education teachers within these spaces. Our research provides a ‘spaces of belonging’ framework that offers support for the successful inclusion of special education teachers within an ILE. Results from our ILE project and interviews with special education teachers in Australia and New Zealand will illustrate the three concepts of ‘spaces of belonging’, using studies from a range of schools. We hope that the findings will inform future planning and design processes that will promote effective inclusive teaching practices in Australia and New Zealand.
