What is inclusive teaching?
Inclusive teaching
- Ensures that students are not marginalised or excluded from university education because of who they are
- Does not require students or staff to become or “pass” as mainstream in order to succeed at university
- Welcomes diversity and sees diverse students and staff as enriching the university
- Works to create a place where all students and staff can thrive
- Recognises that the playing field is not level and we need to take action to create a diverse and inclusive university.
Why should we teach inclusively?
How can we teach inclusively?
The importance of personal relationships in inclusive teaching
The importance of two way communication in inclusive teaching

Feedback is obviously part of a two way communication process. Lecturers and tutors need feedback from students to assess how well students are following a course, and students need feedback from lecturers and tutors to assess their personal understanding and progress.
