Introduction
How do (SP)LDS Come Into Being?
Current Practice?
What Might Social Constructionist Practice Look Like?
Social Constructionist Practice in Higher Education Assessment and Teaching
Resist the language of learning outcomes. Instead, use individual and collectively negotiated learning directions
Reconstruct what counts as teaching and learning in higher education by offering varied possibilities for expression and participation with respect for how individuals differently communicate with, and relate to, one another and to the world. Offer choice in assessment, focus upon qualitative mutual feedback, and provide some opportunity to resubmit assessed work, without penalty, following reflection
Social Constructionist Practice in Higher Education Diagnostic and Support Practice
Resist the bureaucratic requirement for full diagnostic assessments as keys to unlock the gate to adjustments and specialist support. Instead, use listening and dialogue as the route to recommendation of specialist resources
Nurture a relational view upon what SpLDs ‘are’
