How do we approach our teaching in a way that reaches today's students? Neurodiversity is being discussed more, understood more, and diagnosed more. Combined with the demands of the curriculum, meeting the needs of students with a wide variety of neurotypes is a complex challenge. This session will briefly overview neurodiversity and disability before sharing my approach to creating a neuro-inclusive classroom and learning experience. This combines theory from my Master's program with my experience of nearly 20 years teaching math, science, and CTS. Most importantly, it shares the reasoning for my approach to teaching students in the classroom, putting disability at the forefront of my decisions.
Session Objectives: 1. Describe neurodiversity and models of disability 2. Apply teaching and assessment methods in order to create an inclusive classroom in a high school class
I teach Math and Legal Studies at GP Composite High School. I'm in the process of completing my masters at U of L, focusing on curriculum and assessment. I love learning, and I love math :)
Join me for a double session designed for K-3 teachers to focus on planning, instruction, and assessment related to numeracy. Through collaborative dialogue with peers, participants will have dedicated time to plan, collaborate, and design instruction and assessments. The session will also include sharing pedagogical approaches and resources to enhance support. Please come prepared with the necessary tools for collaboration and be ready to expand your knowledge and practice in numeracy.
Session Objectives: 1. To deepen subject matter knowledge and expand professional capacities to meet the challenging demands of the educational landscape and student needs. 2. To join professional learning communities to exchange pedagogical strategies and instructional insights. 3. To provide time and opportunity for active learning.
