Children in our schools now come from very varied backgrounds and home situations, including many coming from different EU countries as well as other countries across the world. Teachers face the challenge of different cultures, values, languages, religions, calendar of festivities, and student motivations. The MAE(CRE) is aimed at preparing you, as teachers and other support professionals, for taking a leading role in schools and other educational institutions for promoting 'training and support in the use of pedagogies that are inclusive in nature and cater for diversity' (NCF). You will deepen your understanding about the development of more responsive attitudes towards student diversity and socially just policies and practices. The course can also serve to enhance your capacity as a classroom teacher to become aware of the risk of discrimination against minority or disadvantaged groups, and to understand, value and support each of their students more effectively.
