Exclusions
Description	The Equity in Education module covers a range of models, theoretical insights, and practical approaches to examine, understand and engage with the concept of equity in education. Over the course of the module, students will analyse equity through different theoretical and political approaches, examining how it intersects with a range of issues such as diversity and inclusion; social class, disability, faith, race, gender, and other identity and social markers; meritocracy, social mobility and opportunity; globalisation and localisation; and educational governance and systems. Bringing together perspectives from multiple disciplines, the module explores contemporary issues and the influence and implications of political, economic, cultural, and social dynamics for equity in education policy and practice, so students can better identify and understand these educational issues and how to address them in their workplaces. Special attention will be paid to existing inequities in educational milieus, critically contextualising the work of policy to design effective change and inform future practice towards more equitable educational environments.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Examine key concepts associated with equity in education Assess and critique policy and practice in the context of educational equity Design and communicate strategies and approaches, in specific contexts, that will enhance education equity.
