Inclusive teaching

What is inclusive teaching?​

Inclusive teaching is about designing and delivering teaching and assessment methods that benefit all our students. If we integrate practices that enable students to engage with the content they can have more meaningful learning experiences which can help them achieve their full potential. There is no one way to be inclusive it requires us to keep reflecting on our teaching and adapting. ​

The UoL have a set of statements that are based on guidance from the Department for Education. These create a framework for reviewing our current practice and support for Student Education. As a university, we are committed to embedding these standards in all taught student education provision. The standards along with resources and support to help you make your teaching inclusive can be found by exploring the links below.​ Also explore our pages on supportive teaching environments (which includes guidance on sensitive seminar discussions) and our decolonising pages.
