Course Overview

The Inclusive Principles In Action course is premised on a fundamental belief that all learners have the right to an education that meets their needs through systems of shared responsibility. The course helps students review and enhance the learning experience through opportunities to examine existing practice in the light of new knowledge and insights. This enables students to reflect on experiences and different perspectives by exposing these to sustained discussion and critical appraisal.
