Strengthening instruction in inclusive classrooms

ABOUT

Special education is defined as specially planned instruction for students with learning disabilities that meets their unique needs, allowing them to follow the general curriculum and make progress that is appropriate given their circumstances within a differentiated classroom that offers more opportunities for learning characterised by special instruction or accommodations.

The course emphasizes fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment, where students feel empowered and encouraged to progress at their own pace. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge, practical exercises, and real-world case studies, educators gain the confidence and expertise needed to deliver specially tailored instruction that maximizes the potential of every student, ensuring they can successfully engage with the general curriculum and make meaningful progress that will support their social and emotional learning, promote positive learning and pro-social behaviors, and increase their independence.
