Abstract

The chapter considers an academic team’s inclusive pedagogic practice when facilitating UK business school executive education, guided by a combination of two pedagogic principles: facilitated belongingness and valued uniqueness (Shore et al., 2011; Randel et al., 2018). Inclusion is a shared value for the team and a design principle of the critical pedagogy which underpins the part-time, hybrid, practice-based MSc Strategic Leadership and MSc Coaching & Mentoring programmes. Following a collective reflexive research approach, we present case illustrations from three modules of how academics facilitate inclusive practices which facilitate belongingness for learners whilst valuing learners’ uniqueness. We outline and contribute learning from the practical techniques and four interconnected elements supporting inclusive practice for learning and teaching: collaboration, vulnerability, safe enough learning environments, and playful experimentation.
