Teaching during COVID-19

A range of captivating lesson plans are ready for you to explore the history of the Paralympic movement in Australia and abroad, Paralympic values and a range of Para-sports. All lesson plans are linked to the Australian Curriculum and don’t require any specialist equipment, so they are easy to implement in the classroom (or at home). Our resources focusing on the Paralympics in Australia are aimed at primary school students but can be adapted to a range of learning contexts. The I’mPOSSIBLE resources include lesson plans, worksheets and PowerPoint presentations for both primary and secondary teachers. These lesson plans can be used individually or to form a unit of work.

Inclusive education CYDA as the co-chair of the Australian Coalition for Inclusive Education (ACIE) wrote to the Disability Royal Commission to raise with our collective concerns about the discrimination and neglect currently facing children and young people with disability during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the risk of increased violence and abuse. CYDA is convening weekly COVID-19 meetings with the ACIE and other disability advocates working with children and young people with disability and their families around Australia. ACIE has also developed a resource Learning at home during a time of crisis: COVID19 (Coronavirus). This resource has been developed to help parents support their children while schools are pupil free or closed in these uncertain times. This resource is to assist children and young people with disability and families to organise and plan for learning at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
