Module Description
This module is designed to support teaching staff to develop a deeper understanding of the educational practices and policies on equity, inclusivity and diversity within teaching and learning in Higher Education. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on their curriculum and teaching practices, understanding ways in which Higher Education can inadvertently lead to the marginalisation of students and differential educational outcomes, and exploring ways to develop more inclusive teaching practices, with particular attention to the protected characteristics identified within the Equality Act (2010). The focus will be on understanding and meeting the needs of a diverse student population, taking intersectional identities (e.g., social class) into account. Participants will learn about issues such as anti-colonial practice, universal design for learning (UDL), and ways to support students with additional support needs. The module will allow practitioners to reflect on and develop their own practice in relation to inclusivity.
