The Inclusive Teacher: e-learning for teachers

 Winner jury prize of ECIO Inclusie Award 2025

The e-learning course The Inclusive Teacher offers a range of tools and tips to make student diversity a valuable asset, leading to more effective teaching and greater student success. 

Most teachers already do a lot to promote inclusion. However, sometimes it can be hard to see how further improvements can be made, or why certain strategies could benefit (groups of) learners. As this course shows, inclusive teaching is often about making small, practical adjustments. By building on your existing skills set, you can further the process towards more inclusion in an attainable, sustainable way.

The Inclusive Teacher course is accessible and interactive, with different formats in which information is presented, and a choice of activities. Through discussion boards, you can share best practices and exchange views with other course participants.
