Be able to use inclusive teaching and learning approaches in accordance with internal and external requirements

Case Study

Compare the strengths and limitations of the teaching and learning approaches you used in your area of specialism in relation to meeting the needs of your students. It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
