Inclusive Education Series: Teaching LGBTIQ+ students
The latest addition to the ICCB website is a rich set of resources to support Teaching LGBTIQ+ students.

This means a significant number of LGBTIQ+ students may be enrolled at Deakin. It is therefore important for staff to be aware of the challenges facing these students and what you can do to be more inclusive.
