Description
This comprehensive and wide-ranging Handbook offers insights into real-world classroom experiences of educators who have developed inclusive approaches to learning and teaching within schools of business and management. Written by leading practitioners from the British Academy of Management community, it provides good practice guides and examples of how to implement initiatives whose success is supported by evidence.
The Handbook of Inclusive Learning and Teaching in Business and Management covers four priorities for inclusive learning and teaching: curriculum content and assessment, belonging and engagement, learning environment and approaches, and digital and blended approaches. This Handbook will influence both the design and delivery of business and management learning and teaching, and the scholarship of inclusive learning and education.
Researchers and educators across - and beyond - different areas of business and management will benefit from this book's engaging and accessible content. It will also prove useful for students aspiring to become tenured academics.
