The session focuses on innovative teaching strategies through the lens of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) using numbers to engage diverse learners. The main themes include:
- Universal Design for Learning (UDL): The session emphasizes the importance of addressing the unique needs of every learner, catering to different educational backgrounds, attention spans, interests, language abilities, and cultural contexts
- Engagement through Creative Methods: Participants explore how to make data-driven learning more interactive by using visually appealing templates and customizable formats, such as incorporating min-maps, quiz, storyboarding, gamification to cater to diverse audiences.
- Interactive Learning Tools: Teachers are encouraged to provide multiple modes of expression, allowing students to present their learning in various ways, such as writing, audio explanations, digital stories, and quizzes.
- Hands-on Activities: The sessions involve practical activities where educators can create simple yet effective lessons using conditional formatting, drawing tools, and custom worksheets to engage learners at all levels. A practical session invites participants to create numbers-based activities for teaching history.
The session aims to develop future training sessions that integrate UDL with creative engagement techniques to empower educators in fostering diverse learning environments.
