Gender Equality and Inclusion in Schools
Considering that inclusivity is a foundation of the education sector, meaning that teachers are required and assessed also through the lens of their capacity to make the learning setting, even practically, accessible and just for all, this learning pathway is targeting teachers who want to improve their skills to be more inclusive and not gender stereotyped in designing and delivering teaching.
Description
Gender Equality and Inclusion in Schools aims to equip teachers with the necessary knowledge and skills to make their pedagogies more inclusive, open to diversity, just and fair for all, and promote a safe, gender equal learning environment for their students. Through a learner-led pathway, starting from self-reflection and proceeding to group sessions, teachers will explore how unconscious gender stereotypes are rooted, leading to discriminatory practices in career guidance, teaching methodologies and students assessment. The intersectional approach will support the acquisition of competences useful to prevent and remove other ground of discriminations that can affect learning pathways and settings. The main features of the course include: diversity and inclusion in school settings; gender equality matters in education and guidance; inclusive language and practices in school; gendered disinformation; exploration of Perugia’s cultural heritage and exchange of good practices.
