Exploring teacher educators' promotion of educational inclusion in Initial Teacher Education

This is a past event

The educational inclusion of all children, grounded in the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, presents an ongoing challenge for teacher educators to prepare new and existing teachers to address the rights of increasingly diverse categories of learners.

One way of responding to this challenge can be found in Scotland where the National Framework for Inclusion (STEC, revised 2014) was developed to support consistent approaches to the promotion of inclusion across Scotland’s Initial Teacher Education institutions.   Underpinned by Inclusive Pedagogy (Florian and Black-Hawkins, 2011) and linked to the General Teaching Council Scotland (GTCS) Standards, the Framework aims to support initial teacher education and career long learning by providing a tool that teachers can use to reflect on their practice.

Dr Archie Graham and Dr Kirsten Darling-McQuistan will present their findings as part of the Research Lunchtime Seminar Series.
