Theme: Inclusive Teaching

Inclusive teaching is about ensuring all students can learn and be supported in a way that enables them to fulfil their academic potential. The principle of inclusive teaching is embedded in our approach to Curriculum Transformation: ‘Support the diverse needs of learners’. Whilst the motivation behind inclusive teaching is positive, in reality this can be problematic when teaching large cohorts of students with potentially very different needs. However, students with specific learning needs do not experience different learning challenges but a more exaggerated version of the challenges all students face. By addressing challenges for all students, we can therefore provide a truly inclusive teaching experience.

This becomes possible when we identify patterns in difficulty across three key areas of inclusion: Physical, Cultural, and Cognitive.

Call for participation: To learn from and celebrate the excellent work carried out here at the University of Bath, we are inviting colleagues to submit proposals that reflect on these challenges for Talking Points and Lightning Talks

If you are interested in submitting a talk please complete this form and return to the CLT by 14th April 2023
