\u2018Empowering students to fulfil their potential\u2019 is one of the three dimensions of the framework, as a core driver is The\u202fWell-Being Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, which aims for \u2018a society that enables people to fulfil their potential no matter what their background or circumstances\u2019. Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO (2015) stated the importance of inclusivity as part of Education for Sustainable Development:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A fundamental change is needed in the way we think about education\u2019s role in global development, because it has a catalytic impact on the well-being of individuals and the future of our planet. \u2026 Now, more than ever, education has a responsibility to be in gear with 21st century challenges and aspirations, and foster the right types of values and skills that will lead to sustainable and inclusive growth, and peaceful living together.\u00a0<\/span> Inclusive Education should be considered at each stage of the teaching cycle (below). You will find a section on Inclusive Design, Delivery, Assessment and Feedback, and Evaluation in the other pages of this toolkit. <\/span><\/p>\n

You will also learn about strategies to support additional groups of students who may experience disadvantage in our university: disabled and international students. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can develop your understanding of Empowering Students to Fulfil their Potential by engaging in our workshops, which are available asynchronously, to take in your own time, and can be followed by a live workshop (with enough demand), or a bespoke meeting with the lead to discuss application to your practice.

This page aligns to the Professional Standards Framework (PSF 2024) overall requirement for \u2018effective and inclusive practice\u2019, and in particular to Professional Values V1: Respecting individual learners and groups of learners, V2: promoting engagement in learning and equity of opportunity, and V4: responding to the wider context. It also enables application of K1: how learners learn to practice, and K2: approaches to teaching, supporting diverse learners.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Inclusive Education Enhancement mode<\/a>l has a number of areas of focus for empowering students to fulfil their potential, to further support your self-reflection and development.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
