Shaping Practices for Diverse Learners
About Course
In this course, learners will be introduced to the Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Learners will gain insights into applying the principles including multiple means of representation, engagement, and expression to design classroom environment setups and learning plans. Communication strategies and different types of feedback will be covered too.
During the course, learners will learn to write an action plan based on UDL and implement it in their teaching practices. Learners will evaluate and reflect on the key factors influencing positive classroom dynamics and engagement among children with different learning abilities.
Note: This course will be conducted via face-to-face.
