This course is offered in collaboration with the Greek University of Thessaly.

This course introduces students to the concept of “inclusive education” and links this with recent development in the field of mental health. Inclusive education requires that all students, regardless of any challenges they may have, are placed in age-appropriate general education classes that are in their own neighborhood schools to receive high-quality instruction, interventions, and supports that enable them to meet success in the core curriculum. On the premise that the development of inclusive schooling is closely linked to the promotion of mental health and resilience for all leaners, the course covers well-known psychological theories of learning and development and explored how these theoretical frameworks can be applied in educational settings to promote mental health, effective learning and ultimately genuine participation and inclusion.
