The Mainstream Core Standards - The Pathway to Inclusion

This E-learning course is made up of eight modules which guide you through establishing an inclusive culture in alignment with the Mainstream Core Standards (MCS). This course explores the context for the Mainstream Core Standards (MSC) and their relevance within the current climate, and the reasons for updating the MCS and providing a link back to the County Wide Approach to Inclusive Education (CATIE). The course will ensure schools understand that they are part of the Local Area and have a responsibility to deliver a SEND centred approach, including how the MCS and Quality first Teaching are part of the continuum of support and how MCS can meet many of the demands of the SEND review.
