“Thought provoking and genuine. Didn’t give in to the temptation to tick boxes or be idealistic.”
Creating environments that are genuinely welcoming, enabling and are flexible to a variety of needs of students is vital to any Higher Education institution. This training encourages staff to consider how, by reframing their thinking about their individual teaching practice, they can be more attentive and responsive to the needs of their students.
Looking across both institutional culture and the practical realities and nuances of how Higher Education environments operate, the training uses specific examples from Performing Arts Higher Education settings, guiding participants through a structured process of thinking around the necessary steps and considerations needed to build truly inclusive environments. The session includes tips and tools around inclusive language, thinking and approach that participants can weave into their practice.
