Module Indicative Content
This module will analyse the changing concept of inclusivity examining the historical perspective of a variety of political reports and legislative documents including EYFS. The students will examine the development of values, beliefs and stereotypes and how positive practice can be encouraged both nationally and internationally. The module is designed to challenge student's ideas about disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation and social difference and the potential impact that their own behaviour can have upon the children, their families and colleagues.
