About the role

Consultancy, coaching, capability building and cultural responsiveness underpins Inclusive Educator work.

Inclusive educators provide proactive, targeted, and intensive services to preschools and schools to support children and young people with additional needs, including disability, sensory impairment, and complex health needs. They do this by working collaboratively with educators and families to establish optimal learning environments, differentiated teaching practices and appropriate supports and adjustments to ensure each child or young person is engaged and participating in the preschool or school environment.

A critical aspect of the Inclusive Educator role is to promote an inclusive environment that supports engagement and best outcomes for all children and young people. They provide support to preschools and schools to implement the Disability Standards for Education to meet their legal obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) for children and young people with additional needs.

Inclusive educators work with a range of key partners to ensure the best outcomes for children and young people. Collaborating with families, preschools, schools and local education teams, internal agencies and external agencies will ensure that the expertise and knowledge from each of these stakeholders can contribute to supporting children and young people with additional needs achieve optimal outcomes.
