All Students Belong inThe New Zealand Curriculum’: A vision supported by the Inclusive Education Capability Building Project.

Abstract

This article describes the Ministry of Education’s Inclusive Education Capability Building Project (2013-2014). Project members were tasked with creating resources for professional development that would be used to grow inclusive practice in New Zealand schools. This article also shares the learning journey of some members of the project team as they engaged in the inquiry process around inclusive practice. A key understanding for this project was that all students can be successful learners and belong in The New Zealand Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 2007), also referred to in this article as NZC.
