Inclusive Teaching Under Pressure: Practical Strategies for Face-to-Face and Virtual Learning

Inclusive teaching is often discussed when conditions are ideal. The real challenge is maintaining participation, confidence and progress when learners experience barriers, support needs, low confidence, competing demands or digital challenges.

This practical workshop explores simple, evidence-informed approaches that help create learning environments where more learners can participate, belong and succeed. Drawing on examples from further education, apprenticeships and adult learning, delegates will explore strategies that support inclusion in both face-to-face and virtual settings. The session focuses on practical design choices, learner confidence, participation and belonging, with approaches that are valuable for all learners and vital for some.
