their thinking around working with and for an increasingly diverse learning
community. We will explore concepts from key scholars in the field of
inclusive education to unpack what ‘inclusion’ and ‘additional support

strengths-based perspectives and identify positive actions we can all take on
these pressing issues for our current times. - 11-Jan-2025 - 11-Jan-2025
