Inclusive Student Engagement and Partnership Workshop

Over two half days, this online workshop supports staff who are leading others in change efforts around inclusive teaching and learning.

Institutions and individual practitioners face a continuous challenge in engaging with students, in the classroom, in extra-curricula activities and in the leadership and governance of institutions. Making sure we provide accessible and inclusive methods via which to engage with our students, is even more paramount as we enter this new phase on virtual and hybrid teaching models.

This two-part workshop from Advance HE will introduce the latest literature, practitioner learning, and sector insights to support participants in ensuring inclusivity for all as they embark on co-production and partnership initiatives with students. The course will address the challenges of an inclusive curriculum, adopting anti-racist policies and bias in student to staff feedback. Participants will also have the opportunity to critically apply their learning to a ‘live’ assignment or initiative within in their own institution.

The blended module involves two half-day online workshops, and c. 1 hour of independent reflection and reading
