An Oxford Brookes teaching and learning toolkit will be available on this webpage from June 2017. This toolkit is currently being created collaboratively with teaching staff. It will include the good practice already taking place as well as provide support that responds to the needs expressed by lecturers.
“I think before talking to you I would just have highlighted the people who interested me the most rather than thinking about balancing the impression being given to the students. Small examples but I think lots of us doing this would make quite a difference.”
“I included your project in my PDR and recommended that my entire department sign up for it. I said that it made me aware of unconscious bias which we can address by being aware of it but, because the curriculum and the text books we use rather reinforce it we have to be aware and take steps to change them too.”
