​

• R2 comprises a collection of concrete activities & approaches to help

(1) 1st-y. SS from different disciplines build their learning power (learn to learn in ways required in HE) &

(2) guide those teaching 1st-y. SS in revising their own approaches to assessment (especially diagnostic & formative), learning & teaching to make these more inclusive, engaging & motivating for SS (cf. UDL & culturally-responsive teaching) – so as to promote student retention & set ALL SS for success.

• Voices of AA from different disciplines will be included – to increase the face validity of the handbook.

Result 2: Handbook

ready by 15 Dec 2024
