This paper describes the foundational principles and design details of the student-staff partnership initiative launched by the Co-creating Inclusive and Equitable Teaching & Learning project, led by Dr. Anna Santucci and situated within the Centre for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) at University College Cork (UCC).

The paper provides project design and implementation details that can be replicated and adapted to fit other institutional contexts. The authors intentionally provide reflective guidance so that the readers may ask related core questions in adapting and adopting the proposed model to fit their own contexts and students. Grounded in international literature, this project based at UCC builds upon and contributes to the important emergent field of research and practice about Students as Parters and Pedagogical Partnerships, with a specific focus on inclusion of student voices and perspectives traditionally minoritized in higher education. This resource outlines how to thoughtfully design professional development and curriculum enhancement programs that encourage direct engagement and authentic dialogue between teachers and students, platforming in particular the voices and perspectives of traditionally minoritized students.
