Inclusion - Current Literature and Research - Webinar

 

Few topics in teaching and learning generate more interest,
discussion - and even controversy - than the subject of
inclusion. It is an issue with vocal advocates on all sides.
Inclusion necessitates change - in attitude, in approach, in
activity. So, it makes sense to understand the issues and to
learn from the research and experiences of others in the field!

 

This webinar will be of interest to students and practitioners
involved in developing and delivering inclusive provision. It
offers a brief overview of the current thinking and research as
well as showcasing some of the recent literature on the subject.
