Inclusive Practices in Educational Settings EAL211
Introduction
The unit will explore the nature of inclusive education in the 21st century. Based on a philosophical foundation that values belonging, the full participation of all students, and the idea that learning is a shared experience, this unit explores practical approaches for effective inclusive education that can be embedded into everyday practice. Through consideration of a range of aspects of inclusive practice that involve both communities and systems, we will examine our own teaching in order to find new and innovative ways to embed inclusive education. By way of an exploration of inclusion through a critical lens, you will be further equipped with the skills to identify and respond to exclusion in policy and practice in a range of contexts.
