Enhancing academic practice through reflection to promote inclusive education

This project represents an ongoing initiative to enhance pedagogical practices through reflective methodologies. This paper focuses on implementing Reflective Teaching Workshops as a transformative mechanism to advance inclusive education within university-level instructional frameworks. Reflective teaching has been established as a fundamental principle of effective pedagogy; however, its sustained integration within higher education contexts continues to pose significant challenges. This ongoing intervention emerges from the University of Kent’s commitment to promoting inclusive education as outlined in its Access and Participation Plan and broader institutional strategies. While various interventions have been implemented to support student success, there exists a pronounced gap in systematic support designed specifically for academic staff tasked with delivering an inclusive curriculum.
