A Charter for Inclusive Teaching & Learning Symposium Presentations Now Available for Download
The AHEAD Symposium on ‘A Charter For Inclusive Teaching and Learning’ took place in the Royal Hospital Kilmainham on Tuesday 28th of April 2009 and the aim was to highlight high-quality and effective practices that can be embedded into the delivery of higher education syllabi. The event was a great success and everybody left energised and full of new ideas to bring back to their institutions. AHEAD will now draw up the said charter based on the contribution of the speakers and attendees of the symposium, along with further consultation within the Higher Education sector.
