The Graduate Certificate in Inclusive Education is an 18-unit course offered by the College of Education, Psychology and Social Work on campus and in distance mode.
The Graduate Certificate in Inclusive Education encapsulates a critical and contemporary understanding of inclusion in education. Topics provide knowledge and skills to better understand diverse students, their learning needs, and how to modify curriculum, environments, and social interactions to better support them. Theories, principles, and strategies to effectively differentiate are explored. A range of learning difficulties are investigated, considering implications in diverse settings. Whole school behavioural approaches and classroom ecologies are explored to better understand relationships between individuals, environments, and instruction.
The Graduate Certificate in Inclusive Education is professionally-oriented and is intended for people currently employed in the field of education and those who have an interest in further enhancing their knowledge and practice in special education.
The Graduate Certificate in Inclusive Education articulates with the Master of Inclusive and Specialised Education and the Master of Education.
