Creating a Culture of Inclusivity: A Quest

Description: We’re going on an adventure! Learners across the land are in need of an education designed and delivered in a way that respects and honors their individual abilities. However, the path through contemporary education is wrought with traps, barriers, and pitfalls. Fortunately, learners have you to help guide them as they work to unravel the mystery of their own bodies and minds and help them discover a treasure trove of maximum potential. And you are not alone. Gather your fellowship and work together to learn strategies for how to develop an environment where every educator adopts a mindset based on the principles of inclusive design. Decipher, decode, and decrypt insights on how the language we use influences actions. Learn how to replace, rather than add, actions to create sustainable and systemic practices. Inclusion is coming.

We all have a role to play in this quest for inclusivity. Join us on this journey of discovery.

Accessibility, Productivity, and Engagement with Apple Education

Technology plays a powerful role in allowing students to personalize and take ownership of their learning, fostering dignity and independence. Apple builds products that are accessible to all learners, giving everyone access to technology that unlocks their full potential. Join us in this hands-on learning experience to explore features on iPad that can increase your productivity and engage learners. We will learn and explore the best accessibility features across iPad (and Mac), which bring out the best in all of us. (Demo devices are available to use throughout the session)
