Small changes, big difference: Addressing the learning needs of equity students | 1 June

The sudden shift to remote learning caught us all off guard, but perhaps not more so than our equity students. Faced with studying from home in isolation from the space, structure, resources and community afforded by on-campus study, they face daily challenges around how to negotiate the demands of learning in this new environment.

Please join Sonal Singh and Amanda Moors-Mailei (Centre for Social Justice and Inclusion), Indigenous Elder Aunty Glendra Stubbs and Kylie Garratt (Jumbunna), and Natalie Gooch  (Student Services) who will share recent data and observations about the equity student experience in the remote learning environment. Please come prepared to discuss the small changes we might make to our teaching that could make a big difference to their experience.
