Making your teaching inclusive
This site has practical advice about teaching inclusively and will also help you meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act. It will give you an insight into what study is like for disabled students, and what you can do to make a difference.
Learn about
- how you can enhance the learning experience of your students
- common barriers to learning, and ways to find solutions
- types of learning support: assistive technologies and specialist staff.
You are encouraged to adopt an anticipatory and proactive approach, recognise and meet the learning needs of individuals, and thus create a learning environment that is inclusive by design. There are also resources here that you can use for staff development.
The most compelling reasons for making your teaching inclusive come from the students themselves and the staff who support them. There are video clips throughout the site to tell their stories.
This site is no longer maintained, as it was originally funded as part of a project for the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). You should check elsewhere for up-to-date changes, particularly in legislation or funding.
