Working with experienced education professionals, you’ll explore policies and philosophies of inclusion in relation to both special educational needs and wider inclusion groups, as well as theories of social justice and equality for all students. We’ll consider how to evaluate and develop policy and practices in individual educational institutions, and analyse how far current educational contexts of performance and high-stakes accountability may affect developments in inclusionary thinking and practice. Study for a Postgraduate Certificate The PGCert (part-time) is specifically designed to allow practitioners in schools to gain accreditation linked to the work they’re undertaking, or have undertaken, in gaining the Inclusion Quality Mark in their setting. We value the learning and development which occurs for practitioners in the process of the working towards the Inclusion Quality Mark – and believe this learning can be harnessed to move your academic development forward.
