Introductory INSET

Our Introductory INSET is designed to embody the philosophy that transformative learning should be both exhilarating and challenging, encouraging educators to embrace ideas that may counter their existing beliefs. This session provides a foundation for deeper understanding and action.

About the programme

Our introductory session, ideal for larger groups, examines the theories and concepts that support our advancing equity framework. Over 2.5 hours, this interactive session helps educators initiate or expand crucial conversations and strategies to tackle inequity.

Learning Outcomes

The objective of this session is to support reflection at multiple levels, helping us identify our positions within systemic challenges. By gaining clarity on our roles, we uncover fresh opportunities for enacting impactful changes. Embracing this understanding paves the way for exciting possibilities to create a more equitable and inclusive educational environment.
