This unit develops a critical understanding of the societal and cultural diversity that surrounds and informs teaching in a wide range of educational settings. It investigates how literacy and numeracy are explicit and implicit in the creation of an inclusive curriculum. It addresses significant aspects of adolescent development in the context of teacher education, as well as current understandings and practices related to differentiated curricula that engage students with diverse intellectual, emotional and social abilities. Historical and contemporary relationships between schooling, social justice and social inclusion are analysed and discussed. -- Course Website
