Welcome to the Queensland Collective for Inclusive Education (QCIE)

We are a group of families who promote inclusive lives for our children with disability and work together to make inclusive schools a reality for all. All QCIE members work in a voluntary capacity to advocate for children’s rights to inclusive education.
What is inclusive education?
Inclusive education means that all students attend and are welcomed by their neighbourhood school in age-appropriate regular classes and are supported to learn, contribute and participate in all aspects of the life of the school. Inclusive education is a fundamental human right and is the best evidence practice for students with and without disability. 
Why inclusive education?
Inclusion allows students with AND without disabilities to:
  • Enjoy a high-quality education consistent with better outcomes for ALL learners.
  • Contribute their individual strengths and gifts, with high and appropriate expectations for each child.
  • Grow up at the same school as their siblings, in a local community with peers.
  • Work at their own pace while participating in the life of the school.
  • Learn about and accept individual differences.
What does inclusion look like?
Physical inclusion

​Physically present and fully participating in the same environments as all other students for the same amount of time.
Social inclusion 

​
Socially all students are welcomed, supported to belong and not separated in the classroom or playground.
Curriculum inclusion​

​Curriculum is delivered so all students are included in the same lesson material, with appropriate support and adjustments.
