20.000 Credits or 10.000 ECTS Credits

Organiser: Dr Tanya Hathaway

Overall aims and purpose

This module will allow students to engage in the key debates around Additional Learning Needs (ALN) and inclusion in the classroom. The module will combine theories of ALN with research on best practice. Students will use up-to-date theory and debate to think critically about ALN in Wales and how it applies practically in the classrooms from school through to further education (FE). Therefore, students will gain a well-rounded understanding of both theory and practice in ALN. The students will develop the ability to think critically about the current discourse and apply their knowledge to classroom practice. Furthermore, students will be encouraged to collaborate and share best practice in the field of ALN and inclusion.

  1. Equip students with a strong understanding of inclusive practice in the classroom.
  2. Evaluate the underlying key theories around inclusive classroom practice and analyse the relationship between theory, policy and practice;

  3. Critically engage with debates around inclusion in education, including those pertaining to more able learners

  4. Critically and creatively challenge current practice based on their knowledge and understanding of factors affecting ALN.
