CETL St. Augustine Workshop Registration

Ideally, education is a system that welcomes and supports all students, regardless of their abilities or needs, to learn and participate fully in the educational environment. To this end, all students, including those with disabilities or other diverse needs, should be allowed and/or enabled to learn together in the same classrooms and schools, with appropriate support and adaptations that ensure equitable access and opportunities. It means that all students must learn together with no exclusion (i.e. open access). This requires educational practitioners to meet the diverse needs of their learners by adapting their instructions, valuing the unique contributions and backgrounds of all students, and allowing diverse groups to learn and grow together.

To equip you with the knowledge and skills in harnessing the benefits of open/inclusive teaching and learning, the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) is hosting this online discussion panel entitled Open Access: Educational Practices. As the first official event of the CETL’s annual Teaching and Learning Week, this panel discussion comprises a cadre of specialists involved in teaching and learning, as well as support services, who will explore and sensitize you and your students to the different teaching strategies and initiatives, along with the available support services/structures that facilitate inclusive education that make teaching and learning accessible to all. More specifically, the discussion will encompass concerns related to equity, inclusion, diversity, as well as community health, mental wellness and self-care. This discussion will therefore be an asset to both you and your students.

Who can attend:

1. 1. All Educators/Practitioners
   2. Undergraduate/Postgraduate Students
   3. Administrators/Support Staff
