2019 SUMMER INSTITUTE
Available for credit (EPSE 390K) and non-credit
All courses are subject to minimum enrolment. We advise that participants do not finalize any travel arrangements until notified that this course is confirmed.
This is a foundational course that invites practicing special educators and teachers to engage with frameworks for understanding, planning for, teaching and supporting diverse learners.
Theory, research and practice will be complemented with classroom examples to uncover how neuro-diverse children and youth can be included in classrooms with the emphasis on building student agency and independence.
This course will be taught by Shelley Moore – a leading expert in the field of inclusive education. Shelley’s interactive presentations are constructed based on contexts of specific schools and communities and integrate theory and effective practices of inclusion, special education, curriculum and teacher professional development.
