Equality and Diversity in Education

Chartered Teacher Programme: Module 3, Education for All

This is a core module at postgraduate certificate level on the Chartered Teacher pathway.

The module is structured around 3 key areas, each of which introduces a number of related and inter-related themes. Made up of a number of themed online discussions, each based around set readings and/or activities, the module is delivered using an ‘integrated’ delivery approach whereby the various formative activities/readings build into resources which learners are then able to build on/refer back to for their assignments and apply immediately to their classroom practice.
