Making your teaching inclusive - www.open.ac.uk/inclusiveteaching
The website Making your teaching inclusive provides you with practical
advice about teaching inclusively and will also help you meet the
requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act. It will give you an
insight into what study is like for disabled students, and what you can
do to make a difference. The development has been funded by the Higher
Education Funding Council for England as part of a major programme for
improving disability provision.
The website will help you learn about:
· how you can enhance the learning experience of your students
· common barriers to learning and ways to find solutions
· types of learning support
· assistive technologies and specialist staff
You are encouraged to adopt an anticipatory and proactive approach,
recognise and meet the learning needs of individuals and thus create a
learning environment that is inclusive by design. There are also
resources here that you can use for staff development.
The most compelling reasons for making your teaching inclusive come from
the students themselves and the staff who support them. There are video
clips throughout the site to tell their stories.
