Poster
text reads:
Enhancing Success for All
Students
Old Staff Common Room, Queen’s
University Belfast
Tuesday 23 June 2009, 10.30 – 15.30
This seminar will consider
strategic institutional measures and interventions for building successful
educational experiences for all students, including those with disabilities. In
addition to policy and institutional measures presentations will take account
of effective teaching practices. Drawing upon recent research, and
evidence-informed practice, the seminar will look at what factors students say
are important in promoting or inhibiting success and academic achievement.
Critical points in the student’s experience will be examined through the
use of case studies.
Evidence of research findings
which examine staff views on the benefits and difficulties of delivering an
appropriate, successful and inclusive curriculum will also be discussed in
small groups. Finally the seminar will provide a forum for identifying and
sharing resources aimed at providing enriching educational experiences for
students and thus improving retention rates.
Speakers:
Dr Phil Gravestock, University of
Gloucestershire
Ms Sandra Griffiths, Queen’s
University Belfast
Mrs Anne Simpson, University of
Strathclyde
