  • Expanding Your Teaching Toolbox - Accessibility in the Classroom

    • June 17, 2013
    • 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM
    • The Urban School of San Francisco
    This workshop will be most valuable for middle and high school teachers and learning specialists who want to explore ways to improve access for all learners.

    Overview: How can we reach all learners when so many of us learn differently? Key factors are communication and differentiation. What means of communication are most effective? What defines meaningful differentiated instruction? How can we make it accessible and challenging?
    We will explore teaching techniques and digital tools that support students with auditory, visual, oral and/or organizational challenges. Attendees will have time to strategize and incorporate new techniques into their own curriculum.
