This excellent (but a bit dated) publication by Mick Healey and colleagues provides both a framework for thinking about the connections between teaching and research and lots of short case studies across different institutions and disciplines for inspiration.

This HEA toolkit has lots of practical advice for engaging students through partnership.
They look at four different areas:

This project aimed to identify good inclusive practice in the support and supervision of students with mental health and specific learning difficulties through the process of completing an undergraduate (UG) dissertation. Changes in the Disabled Student Allowance (DSA) place increasing emphasis on universities to inclusive in their provision by moving away from supporting specific student groups through a discrete set of policies or interventions, towards embedding equity in the curriculum as an ongoing process of quality enhancement (May and Bridger, 2010). Literature on undergraduate dissertation supervision is limited – especially compared to postgraduate and doctoral supervision (Rowley and Slack, 2004; Anderson et al., 2006), yet 1) the dissertation typically contributes substantially to overall attainment, 2) utilises challenging intellectual and academic skills, and 3) uniquely uses supervision as a learning strategy. Data collected from supervisors, students and student support workers about the challenges of completing a dissertation, examples of good practice, and the role of the supervisor was thematically analysed. The project has resulted in 1) the development of an inclusive practice toolkit for dissertation supervisors; 2) the delivery of a staff development training session for dissertation supervisors; and 3) revised advice and guidance for students about the supervision/dissertation process in the module handbook and studentcentral site.
The inclusive practice toolkit has been produced by student services to offer guidance and tools to support staff in helping create an inclusive environment for the success of all students. The Inclusive practice toolkit is the main resource for inclusivity – https://staff.brighton.ac.uk/ss/ip/toolkit/Pages/Toolkit.aspx
There is lots of useful information here but academic staff will find section 6) Learning and Teaching most helpful for developing our practice.
