Inclusion in Education PG (11974.1)

Experienced educators recognise that each learner is unique and must have equitable access to learning. This subject recognises the variables that impact on learners' ability and willingness to engage in learning and provides an overview of inclusive education and its application in authentic teaching and learning settings. Students critically analyse theory, research and policy to determine the practical application of evidence-based approaches as they examine the challenges experienced by learners with diverse needs, including how these relate to assessment, intervention, instruction, collaboration and support.
