Original Frameworks That Empower Inclusive Teaching

Our frameworks are the backbone of everything we deliver. Developed by Dr. Farida Sheikh and implemented by Asjad Sheikh, each model offers a structured, practical approach to holistic teacher training. From the Tricycle Model to the Wall of Knowledge, these tools are designed to help educators adapt, include, and progress every learner — especially those with SEND.

Developed and used by Dr. Farida Sheikh in classrooms across the UK, and implemented by Asjad Sheikh for training teachers in Pakistan, AJ&K, UAE, and Kuwait, these frameworks blend theory with hands-on application. Learn more about how each model supports real classroom impact on our Books page.
