AT1 - Report on Diversity, inclusion and engegemnt

Hello Everyone,

I have finally found some time to get cracking on this assessment.  I have started by going through the mountain of stuff KP as provided in numerous formats (videos, sound recordings, websites etc etc).  I think its helpful one minute and something else the next; helpful is what I’m sticking with.  I had a quick read over everyone’s posts to date and feedback within those posts, so I thought it best to write my own blog and within this provide feedback as sort whilst providing you all with an update for where I’m heading.

 

I am looking at a focus within the ‘Mental Health’ stream with three of my four topics to be

1.    Autism

2.    ADHD, and

3.    Depression/anxiety

The fourth diverse learning difficulty area will be

4.    Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders students.

My plan thus far has been reading through and listening to all KP info on Moodle including some sample assessments.  I am pretty much at the design phase, however I do have a clear message and style I want to present in my report.  I think when looking at the broadness this assessment (word limit in mind) I really want to keep it as informative to my (audience) “colleagues” as possible and make my report a working document.  I’m thinking with the key points highlighted by  scenario and secondly by KP that “our” Principal has selected “us” for “our” school to report to “our colleagues" as an important style of the report.  My focus will be on Introduction and conclusion to keep this “beast” under control.  What I mean by that is with four areas to discuss and policies to highlight I think my introduction and conclusion may allow for a more succinct (working document).  The tricky thing for me is that we a pretending to be in a school, however we know the state and country legislation not specifically the schools policies?  I will provide some more insight to my thoughts on these four once a dive a little deeper and research.  I have been impressed by the Kidsmatter program and website and will look to link that program to “our” school and how that can be utilised in my report.
