Dear Colleagues,
LTSN-Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences are running a one
day event on:
Special Education Needs and Disabilities:
Implications of New Legislation and Guidance for HE Geography, Earth
and Environmental Sciences
Friday October 19th 2001
The TechnoCentre, Coventry
The Special Education Needs and Disability Act (SENDA, 2001) and the
QAA Code of Practice on Students with Disabilities will together
require some significant changes in Higher Education. These will
affect not just institutions' physical premises but also important
aspects of the curriculum and our learning, teaching and assessment
methods. The main aim of this LTSN-GEES conference is therefore to
alert academic staff in Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences to
the implications and requirements of the new legislation and QAA Code
and to discuss how in our disciplines we can offer a more inclusive
learning experience for students with disabilities.
The event is free of charge. Further information,a registration form
and a provisional programme can be found at:

Best wishes,
Helen
