Diversity Mark Award Ceremony:
Academics and Diversity Mark Officers celebrate their achievements at the University of Kent Learning & Teaching Conference - September 2024.
1. Module Route
This is for academics who want to refresh or rethink a specific module. On this route, Diversity Mark Officers (specially trained student interns) partner with academics to review the content of a specific module, challenge assumptions, and embed inclusive pedagogy in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable.
After submitting relevant evidence of this process, academics receive a Diversity Mark Module Award and a logo to add to their module — a clear, visible recognition of their work to create a more inclusive curriculum.
2. Practitioner Route
This route is designed for academics looking to develop inclusive teaching, curriculum and assessment design practices beyond a single module. It involves engagement in a Designing Inclusive Modules Retreat — a collaborative, immersive space to rethink teaching and curriculum design practices through a diversity and inclusion lens.
After submitting relevant evidence of this process, academics receive a Diversity Mark Practitioner Award — a recognition of their inclusive teaching and curriculum design practices and their commitment to enhancing student belonging.
