The umbrella of widening participation!
Aim: To consider key concepts of inclusive practice within teaching and learning
Objectives:
• To define key concepts relating to inclusive practice
• To discuss the legislative framework for inclusive practice
• To explain the role of inclusive practice with reference to the LLUK standard
Main points covered:
• Equality - we must address the needs of all learners
• Diversity - gender, disability, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religion or belief
• Widening participation - bringing diverse groups into learning
• Inclusive learning - meeting the needs of all learners
All the above concepts work together and satisfy legislation for inclusive practice: see the Tomlinson and Kennedy reports. Refer to LLUK standards for inclusive practice.
