4 May 2023
In-person event at UCL
Join us for a day focused on challenging deficit thinking. Deficit thinking assumes that students as lacking in some way – lacking engagement, knowledge, integrity or motivation. We will explore instead the skills, capabilities, strengths and brilliance of the students in our discipline, on what we gain if we trust students and how challenging deficit thinking helps us to work with students and enable them to get the education they want and need!
Whether you are able to attend all or some the events on the day, everyone is welcome! Please register for catering purposes.
Abstracts from speakers are available here.
