Background
Inclusive-Learning@ York (formerly the Inclusive Learning, Teaching and Assessment (ILTA) project) was established to realise the objectives within the University’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy and the ILTA Policy Statement. It aims to provide support and guidance to staff on inclusive pedagogies and inclusive curricula, ensuring all our students gain the most they can from their education at the University of York.
As an Access and Participation Plan funded project it will benefit all students, but will particularly support the engagement, continuation and attainment of under-represented groups.
The Inclusive-Learning@York Steering Group has been established to champion the implementation of inclusive practice in learning, teaching and assessment and oversees the work of Inclusive-Learning@York. The Steering Group is chaired by Prof Jill Webb (Associate Dean, Teaching, Learning and Students, Faculty of Social Sciences), and reports directly to the University Teaching Committee and the Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Teaching, Learning and Students.
