Inclusivity
Are deliberate attempts made to increase the participation
of the range of students?
Inclusivity describes the degree to which non-dominant groups are
represented in classroom practices by participation. Non-dominant groups are
identified in relation to broad societal-level dimensions of social inclusion/exclusion.
Lack of inclusivity is apparent when the students' backgrounds are
ignored and they are treated as a homogenous group. This often results in
some groups being unable or unwilling to contribute.

Most classrooms in Queensland public schools are very inclusive places because
of the focus that there has been in Queensland on matters of social justice.
The majority of innovative classes demonstrate inclusive practices. However,
very traditional classrooms do not preclude inclusivity.
