  3. What does this mean? • Why do we want to develop an inclusive curriculum for all students? • What do we mean by this? • Whose responsibility is it? BSV Associates Ltd 3

  4. Why is it desirable? • To inspire and enable all our students to become autonomous, independent academic inquirers who are able to achieve their potential and the best degree outcomes • To enable academic staff to effectively share their knowledge and expertise and develop their professional practice • To enhance the reputation and academic credibility of the university BSV Associates Ltd 4

  5. What is it? • Modified provision – making special arrangements to support individual students within the existing system • Alternative provision – arrangements within the curriculum for particular students • Inclusive provision – flexible and anticipatory arrangements within the curriculum to support all students to succeed BSV Associates Ltd 5

  6. Continuum of approach Typology of learning and teaching provision BSV Associates Ltd 6

  7. Inclusive learning and teaching • Avoids pigeonholing students • Takes a coherent approach which is anticipatory and proactive • Involves the whole institution • Incorporates regular reflection, review and refinement of strategies and methods BSV Associates Ltd 7

  8. Who is responsible? • We all are! • The institution through its strategy, policy, procedure and structures • Individuals through the development, interpretation and delivery of those policies, procedures and professional practice BSV Associates Ltd 8

  9. Systemic and cultural shift Inclusive practice = Embedded = Part and parcel of the way an institution operates = The way in which people behave / their attitudes BSV Associates Ltd 9

  10. Developing inclusive practice • Identify a focus, e.g. subject area; programme of study • Work with particular groups of staff • Identify those in a position to influence • Work with champions and advocates • Pilot activity, evaluate and promote • Tailor your approach – what’s in it for me? BSV Associates Ltd 10

  11. HEA research findings • In order to be successful, change is required at both institutional and individual level • It is essential to build an evidence base from which to bring about change • A multi method, tailored approach is necessary, involving different stakeholder groups across the institution, e.g. senior management; academic staff; support staff BSV Associates Ltd 11

  12. Developing inclusive practice • It matters! BSV Associates Ltd 12
