Inclusive Student Led Learning PD

“Without a systematic way to interrupt current practice in the classroom the impact of these barriers is repeatedly faced by each generation without significant forward motion to break the cycle once & for all.”  
Bae, S., Ofiesh, N. S., Blackorby, J. (2018)

In this messy year, how wonderful to join together teachers from across our seven Kāhui Ako schools for our inclusive student-led learning session on Tuesday 4th August in the beautiful round room at the Berhampore Community Centre. The session was facilitated by Chrissie Butler from CORE Education. Chrissie has years of experience in the field of Universal Design Learning (UDL) and her gentle and genuine sharing of her expertise was both provocative and inspiring for those attending the session. Using the principles of UDL and overt explanations, her manner of presenting was purposefully designed to include everyone in the room. 

Our next session will be on Tuesday, September 8th. In between sessions, we have been asked to 

• ​actively work at noticing our practice and environment through a UDL lens
• find out more about the UDL principles 
• practise describing UDL to others

If you are interested, please help the participants from your school with the last item of homework!
