Plan for Cultural Diversity Awareness and Inclusiveness in Learning and Teaching (pdf).
In late 2006 the University's Cultural Diversity Working Party drafted this plan to support Faculties in their initiatives to increase and enhance inclusive practice in teaching and learning. The Plan (with the Guide below) was presented to the Learning and Teaching Committee, subsequently revised, and is now available here to support staff and faculties in developing more inclusive teaching and learning practices.
 
Guide for Reflective Practice: Cultural Diversity in Learning and Teaching (pdf)
