Uitgebreide vaknaam	Diversity and inclusion in Education
Leerdoelen	The student… - has knowledge of the main concepts and study results in the field of diversity and inclusion in education - is aware of potential bias in academic studies regarding diversity and inclusion in education - understands processes that create (un)equal opportunities in education, both on individual, and institutional, and societal level
Omschrijving	The “typical student” does not exist, instead, classrooms are comprised of unique individuals. Although, to some extent, education can take the needs of this heterogeneous group of students into account, education is usually organized around the “typical student”. At a societal level, we (re)produce particular sets of expectations and stereotypes about different sources of heterogeneity: cognitive, psychological and physical capabilities, ethnic-cultural background, gender or social-economic status. These societal expectations and stereotypes trickle down to educational policies, curriculum and, ultimately, daily classroom practices. As a consequence, educational equality and equity are compromised. This course includes a critical reflection on the understanding of diversity and inclusion in educational settings, the role teachers and educational policy could play in enhancing social justice, the applicability of the largely US-based body of literature to other cultural contexts, and the positioning of students from 'minority groups' due to the way education is organized.
