Design of Inclusivity Pages<\/h3>

All of\u00a0the Inclusivity pages are designed following the principles of Universal Design for Learning\u00a0(UDL). You will find a combination of text, video and images, along with some points for reflection, practical examples and case studies.<\/p>\n

You can choose to read the text or access an audio recording of the same material. The recordings are at the bottom of each page. Alternatively you could use the Microsoft Immersive Reader,<\/a> which has the ability to set preferences or use the 'read aloud' function.<\/p>\n

You can\u00a0also attend a workshop on the topic: to find out more see the CPD box at the bottom of this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n\n \n

What is Inclusive Education?<\/h2>\n

Cardiff University recognises Hockings\u2019 (2010, p1) definition of inclusive education\u202fwhich\u202f\u2018refers to the ways in which pedagogy, curricula and assessment are designed and delivered to engage students in learning that is meaningful,\u202frelevant and accessible to all. It embraces a view of the individual and individual difference as the source of diversity that can enrich the lives and learning of others.\u2019<\/p>\n

Inclusive Education\u00a0is a dynamic process requiring institution-wide commitment to a systematic transformation of the culture, processes and practices of the university, overcome barriers to the presence, participation, achievement and experience of all students, and to account for and celebrate the rich diversity of the learning community.<\/p>\n

Where next?<\/h2>\n

You can now <\/span>go on to <\/span>develop your understanding of Inclusive Education by accessing the related pages on specific topics, outlined in the map below, which relate to the Inclusive Education Framework. After accessing this page, <\/span>we recommend you move to the Introduction to Inclusive Education page.<\/a><\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Workshops<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also develop your understanding of Inclusive Education by attending workshop sessions that relate to each topic. These workshops can be taken in a live face-to-face session, if you prefer social interactive learning<\/span> with your peers<\/span>, or can be completed asynchronously in your own time, if preferred. You can find out <\/span>more information on workshops, and the link to book here<\/span>: CPD workshops inclusion section<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bespoke School Provision<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We offer bespoke <\/span>sessions <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>for Schools on Inclusive Education, through the Education Development service. This can be useful to address specific local concerns, to upskill whole teams, or to support the programme approval and revalidation process.
