Welcome to the Palnet group dedicated to the support, discussion and debate around issues related to the education of students with disabilities in Australian schools.

Forum discussion

Join in the forum discussion on ACARA Students With Disability.

"We need a future that posits students with disabilities as learners, not merely as recipients of resources and support"

"What would be inclusive and benefit all learners is if the Australian Curriculum (AC) is true to following the principles of the Melbourne Declaration and is inclusive of the whole of the document - end of story".

"... wonder what data a leader in a special educational setting would seek to evaluate the progress of learners?"
