2027 PLD | High and Complex Needs Learners | IncludEd

Professional Development Sessions and Specialist Teacher Intervention

As classroom learning environments become increasingly diverse and complex, building sustainable, school-wide capacity for our learners with high and complex needs is essential. IncludEd partners directly with Aotearoa schools to deliver practical, evidence-informed support that builds confidence and creates lasting change.

Whether you need hands-on classroom modeling, strategic professional development, or both, we offer two flexible, fully customisable pathways designed to fit your school’s unique budget and goals:

• Specialist Teacher Intervention: Unlike traditional support, an IncludEd specialist (qualified in Special Education and senior leadership) works shoulder-to-shoulder inside your classrooms. We provide real-time modeling, practical curriculum adaptation tools, AAC and sensory supports, and clear action plans anchored in the New Zealand Curriculum Capabilities Framework.
• School-Wide Professional Development: From Inclusion Audits and Teacher-Only Days to targeted workshop series and support staff training, our kaupapa equips your entire staff with actionable strategies for UDL, neuro-affirming environments, sensory regulation, and barrier-free learning.

Because our facilitators work directly in schools across Aotearoa, our availability for the 2027 academic year is strictly limited. Securing your booking early ensures your school receives tailored, high-impact support right when you need it.
