Research on inclusive education has gained major importance over the last decade. However, in the English-speaking discourse, empirical studies on inclusive teaching and learning often lack connections to existing educational theories that focus on the interrelation of teachers, learners and content as the three focal points of teaching and…

The lack of consensus about gender-inclusive language (GIL) in German poses growing challenges for English-speaking German as a foreign language (L2 German) students and instructors. Whereas students often struggle to convey the same gender sensitivity that is generally available in English into their second language (L2), instructors are equally…

This chapter describes one East Coast university's attempts to raise awareness and incentivize faculty to integrate inclusive instructional principles to their practice. The chapter includes findings from the surveys, interpretations, and recommendations to administrators for making inclusive instruction more accessible to faculty.

Designing effective literacy interventions is a primary topic of importance in educational law, research, and practice (IDEA, 2004; International Dyslexia Association, 2020). The purpose of this article is to examine inclusive approaches to literacy instruction and reading comprehension for students with autism that in turn supports instructional…

Given the internationalization of higher education and the increasingly diversifying student population in higher education institutions worldwide, it is critical to reevaluate the teaching and learning environment in higher education classrooms. Although inclusion and inclusive pedagogy emerged as essential orientations in education, gaps in…

Students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are included in the general education classroom more often than ever before. Despite mathematical strengths and early success, these students experience poor outcomes (academic and employment) compared to their typically developing peers. The language of mathematics increases in complexity, use, and…

In this chapter, we use the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) to explore the application of universal design for learning (UDL) (CAST 2018) to health care education. We begin by setting a historical context of health care education. Next, we provide an overview of UDL, a review of the literature of UDL in health care education, and then…

in this article, author Neil Shanks writes about a "people's economics" approach to teaching K-graduate economics, an approach he argues should replace the more traditional and pervasive neoclassical approach.

This article aims to provide educators with a RECIPE to pivot from traditional market orientation to inclusive marketing orientation. Inclusive Marketing Orientation (IMO) is an evolved marketing strategy that embraces the needs and desires of underrepresented consumers. The impact of increasing students' awareness of inclusivity not only benefits…

To conceive a philosophy of art education that is removed from actual practice would belie the extraordinary experience of developing and making practice. In this article, I propose to explore the philosophical implications of art practice being an experience of the 'daily extraordinary.' A view of practice as being at once stretching and…

Paradoxes of inclusivity occur when attempts at inclusivity clash with the exclusive claims of some of the positions they seek to accommodate. In this article I identify and consider how such a paradox manifests in multi-faith religious education pedagogies--what I call the 'paradox of interreligious inclusivity' or 'PIRI', for short. After…

The Unlearning Cycle offers a way to help educators identify some of the underlying assumptions and beliefs we bring to our pedagogical design. In a field so focused on learning, it is actually unlearning we need to focus on. This chapter shares research and strategies to trade up for new ways of teaching and designing for inclusive, rigorous…

Inclusive teaching is a potentially transformative mindset and approach to reimagining education. To realize its full potential, we must be willing to redefine what it means to teach. In this essay, I draw on the lessons learned during the civil rights work of the Student Nonviolent Coordination Committee (SNCC) to make the case for a new paradigm…

This multi-authored article offers accounts of how programmes for teaching music theory within the Western-notated tradition were created in two UK higher education institutions. These accounts are followed by two more discursive reflections on the nature and purpose of music education today, advocating the importance of listening skills and…

The past decade has seen significant changes in our country's political landscape, some of which have spilled over into higher education.
