Teaching, Learning and Assessment in Education and Training
Assignment - Planning to meet the needs of learners in Education and Training
Task - Scenario
You have been appointed as a teacher in a FE college. The College you are joining has been sanctioned for both direct and indirect discrimination and you have experienced three different scenarios that have not embraced equality and inclusion. Your team leader asked you to create a brochure for the teaching staff on maintaining safe, inclusive teaching and learning environment.
Case Scenario 1
The admissions tutor for an independent school interviews an applicant who has cerebral palsy which makes her speech unclear. The tutor assumes that the applicant also has learning difficulties and refuses to admit her as he thinks she will be unable to cope with the highly academic environment of the school. This is likely to be unlawful discrimination arising from disability.
Case Scenario 2
A school requires male pupils to wear a cap as part of the school uniform. Although this requirement is applied equally to all pupils, it has the effect of excluding Sikh boys whose religion requires them to wear a turban. This is likely to be indirect discrimination because of religion and belief as it is unlikely that the school would be able to justify this action
Case Scenario 3
After a fight in the school playground between Asian and White pupils, the school limits the time the Asian pupils involved in the fight can spend in the playground during lunch hour but does not impose a similar restriction on the White pupils. If ethnicity is one of the causes of this type of treatment for a group of pupil, this is likely to be direct racial discrimination.
Produce a brochure that shows evidence of at least one of the Case scenarios above covering all four assessment criteria questions.
