Volume 1: Toolkit Introduction and Theoretical Framework
This document provides the conceptual and theoretical foundation for a toolkit designed for adult educators. It discusses the various facets of diversity in education, including cultural, linguistic, socioeconomic, and experiential differences, and explores how inclusive education policies at the European and national levels inform the practice of adult learning. The volume highlights key elements for inclusive teaching, such as fostering supportive learning environments and training for educators. It also provides practical "Tips and Tricks" for educators on topics like reflexivity, goal setting, structured lessons, and differentiated teaching, grounded in research and best practices. The content is further enriched by an analysis of the project's key findings, including barriers faced by learners and educators, and introduces the use of learner personas as an innovative way to customise didactical approaches.
