CONT251: Creating Inclusive Learning Environments
I have completed the course reviews, and I have to say, the course lay-out is fabulous! It flows seamlessly, is very intuitive and easy to navigate. I like the self-directed approach, and the badges work perfectly as visual achievements! The courses all have unique digital features (especially the choose-your-own-adventure and self-quizzes) that add to the professional and engaging platform.
Please note that this course is not eligible for a refund, should you wish to drop the course at any point.
This short, self-directed course is designed to help Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs) and Educational Assistants (EAs) create inclusive environments, where students' abilities, needs, and differences are embraced.
Learners will participate in problem-solving scenarios, practical activities, and reflections that will help them help young children and students to feel safe, welcome, and able to learn, so that they can achieve success.
EAs and RECEs will learn how to support children and students and promote learning through a variety of topics, including
- Creating safe spaces
- Differentiating instruction and assessment
- Classroom and room arrangements
- Calming strategies
- Visual schedules
- Listening and observation
- Safety plans
- Sensory and focus strategies
