Assessment, Learning & Teaching Reflections |
Friday 11 November
Broadening staff and student horizons within the curriculum is crucial to our success. We are committed to welcoming students from all backgrounds and ensuring that our student profile represents the regional profile in terms of social class, age, gender, religion, ethnicity and disability. We continue to work to widen participation in our programmes, to raise aspirations and to support developing learners. It is our ambition that, nationally, disabled students will make Leeds Met their top choice because of our reputation as a welcoming and supporting environment that maximises their opportunities for learning as well as for our sporting and cultural life and our ethos. We will balance our desire to recruit the highest possible calibre of students each achieving their maximum potential with our commitment to be a highly accessible institution.
It’s important that we integrate international perspectives and cross-cultural capability into our policies and programmes of learning, through curriculum development, institutional collaborations, student exchanges, volunteering, distance delivery and recruitment. We need to enrich our understanding of how students learn in different parts of the globe by making use of world-wide pedagogic research literature, welcoming international scholars and making good use of the pedagogic experiences of our staff working abroad.
