Design for Learning

Catalog description

Leveraging evidence-based practices that draw from neuroscience, universal design, and the affordances of technology, this class will examine strategies that foster inclusive, culturally and linguistically sustaining learning ecologies for all students. We will unpack teaching challenges and explore curriculum and instruction strategies that ensure meaningful student engagement, ignite creativity and critical thinking, and support resiliency. This course is interactive and grounded in constructivist learning theories where learning by doing, reflecting, collaborating, and questioning are central.
