Course Content
This is a unique programme which aims to respond to a clearly identified need in the professional development of practitioners in the FET sector. Traditionally, the FET sector has been underserved in respect of sector specific offerings, and the proposed course in partnership with City of Dublin ETB aims to address a specific need with respect to supporting practices related to diversity and inclusion. As a consequence of the partnership with the City of Dublin ETB, the programme has been designed with personnel from both the City of Dublin ETB and the School of Education, Trinity. Furthermore, relevant personnel from the City of Dublin ETB contribute to the delivery of the programme.
Modules include: Equality, Diversity and Inclusion:; Inclusive Classroom Practices through a UDL lens; and Speaking to Diversity.
