Module Learning Strategies
Tutor input will focus on key equality legislation in relation to the responsibilities of the education organisation and the professional practitioner.
The learner will consider how equality and diversity can be advanced in terms of their own practice and within their organisation.
Learners will then evaluate the extent to which their current assessment strategies promote or hinder achievement of learners and then consider what changes could be made to ensure that every learner achieves to the best of their ability
