Inclusive Attainment at UAL – Progress update

In August 2016 UAL initiated Learning for All, our programme for addressing attainment inequalities that exist for certain student groups. These inequalities have been persistent and will remain unless we actively address them. As part of Learning for All, the Teaching and Learning Exchange is supporting staff to review and develop their practices to be more inclusive.

Lucy Panesar joined the Exchange at the start of 2017 as an Educational Developer (Diversity and Inclusion) and leads on the development of new Inclusive Attainment resources to support UAL staff with understanding and addressing attainment inequalities in their areas of practice.

The new Inclusive Attainment online resource contains key reference materials for understanding attainment inequalities (including a four-step process to address attainment), an evolving bank of case studies on interventions already made by UAL staff to address attainment, key contacts and staff development opportunities.  It’s growing and evolving so do check back to see what’s new.

An Inclusive Attainment workshop, following the same four-step process, has been delivered by Lucy and Terry Finnigan (LCF Head of Attainment) to over 300 staff (so far) with very positive feedback. This will run again three times during the 2017/18 academic year, offering staff the opportunity to learn more about the causes of differential attainment, and the chance to collectively develop strategies to address this.
