Disgrifiad cryno

The variety in types and needs of learners is a significant factor that teachers in every sector must manage and adapt to. This module will provide you with an overview of legislation, policy and guidelines which support and give direction to practitioners in ensuring that equality, diversity and inclusion are factored into practices within every learning environment. Those policies and guidelines will provide the backdrop for a consideration of creative and inclusive planning and provisions within your own teaching context, and give you the opportunity to develop a stronger understanding of some specific learning needs and the practices which enable effective learning for all. There will be a distinct emphasis on evidence and research informed practice to enable a career-long flexible approach to inclusion, diversity and equality.
