Classrooms today are more diverse than ever, with students bringing a wide range of abilities, needs, and challenges.
Teachers often struggle to balance academic demands with supporting behavioral and social-emotional growth, while ensuring that every learner has equitable access to success.
Schools need innovative approaches that proactively address these challenges and reduce barriers to learning.
This course will introduce participants to the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) within the Multi-Tiered Support System (MTSS) framework to create inclusive and supportive environments.
By learning these strategies, participants will be equipped to address diverse academic and behavioral needs while fostering engagement and achievement for all students in mainstream schools.
During the course, participants will explore how to:
Design universally accessible lessons using UDL principles to engage all learners;
Implement tiered academic and behavioral interventions within the MTSS framework to support all students, especially the ones who struggle;
Create classroom environments and routines that promote inclusion and positive behavior.
By the end of the course, participants will gain practical skills and strategies to reduce barriers to learning, foster positive classroom behaviors, and support student growth at all levels.
They will leave with the confidence to create inclusive, engaging classrooms that accommodate the unique needs of primary and secondary students, ensuring equitable opportunities for success.
