"Diversity is having a seat the table. Inclusion is having a voice. Belonging is having that voice be heard"
​
- Liz Fosslien
In semester two of PME 1 we were scheduled to do a two week Special Educational Needs placement. The placement could not take place due to Covid-19, so instead we planned for the placement. The SEN module featured a mentor and mentee relationship, one PME student mentored 2 BA students. It was our job to guide the BA students, to show them how to research and plan for placement. We focused on differentiation, collaboration and different teaching activities. My group created a Unit of Learning that featured a range of sensory activities which led to the final Sensory Display.
