LEARNING FOR ALL: UNIVERSAL AND EQUITY- CENTERED DESIGN
Are you a leader or change-maker seeking to integrate Equity-centred guiding principles into your learning practices?
As workplaces become more inclusive and welcoming environments for diverse employees, our learning tools and practices need to be representative and universally designed. The goal is to create learning spaces and resources so ALL learners can benefit. This half-day synchronous online session will introduce you to Equity-centred guiding principles that bring together Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and culturally responsive/relevant approaches.
As leaders and change makers in increasingly diverse workplaces, we need to ensure our learning environments, resources, and approaches reflect, include, and benefit all learners. In this highly interactive session, we will:
- Explore equity-centred learning principles for learning design and implementation that bring together Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and culturally responsive/relevant approaches.
- Use an equity-centred assessment tool to help you understand the strengths and gaps of your current inclusion practices.
- Explore promising practices for integrating equity-centred learning principles into learning design and delivery.
- Apply equity-centred principles to case studies focused on self-paced, synchronous, and blended learning approaches in-person and online.
- Increase your confidence to integrate equity-centred learning approaches.
- Network and explore promising practices with peers.
Facilitators, Corrie Melanson and Shannon Gumbs will support you in integrating equity-centred learning principles into your context.
