AGIS Conference 2026 Potsdam
Working Together To Support Learning
Saturday September 19, 2026 2:30pm - 3:30pm CEST
Many schools are strongly committed to inclusion, yet students’ experiences can still vary between classrooms, teams and individual teachers. Where is inclusive practice reliably embedded, and where does it depend on the knowledge, commitment or presence of particular people?

Drawing on dissertation research conducted in an international IB World School in Germany, this session examines how educators and senior leaders understand preparedness for inclusive practice, and which school structures support or constrain its consistent implementation. The findings provide a starting point for a wider professional conversation, not a model to be copied.

Participants will use the case as a mirror for their own settings, sharing examples of where inclusion works well, where classroom practice and school systems reinforce one another, and where disconnects remain. They will leave with practical questions and a clear framework for identifying strengths, points of dependence and areas for greater coherence. The session will also introduce the Index for Inclusion as one possible tool for whole-school reflection and review.
