Inclusive education is paramount for the academic development of students in secondary and higher education. At the core, curricula and institutional policy should be developed from an inclusive perspective. The question that is central to this discussion is: why is that important? But also, how do we make education more inclusive and to what extent does curriculum development correspond to inclusive education? This webinar will discuss theoretical frameworks of inclusion in Higher Education from key experts in this field of work. Both Dr. Frank Tuitt and Dr. Saran Stewart have developed and implemented theoretical frameworks of inclusion in practice at their respective institutions and will elaborate on good practices and examples to illustrate how professionals can develop inclusive education strategies – from theory to practice.
