Learner Success Community of Practice webinar – Minnie Baragwanath
Minnie discusses the importance of creating spaces for learners with accessibility needs, to improve educational and career outcomes. She zeros in on the reality of a system which is “…not benign, but deeply inaccessible” and discusses the shift away from a deficit mindset to an opportunity mindset, including changing behaviours and attitudes, at all levels of an organisation.
