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.
