In this three part series, participants will look carefully at the language around neurodiversity—including buzzwords and popular terminology — to consider how best to honor and reflect the experiences of being a student in an educational culture that is still evolving to meet diverse needs. They will explore the power and impact of centering students and supporting families. Finally, participants will hear from expert panelists representing several different disciplines to gain insight into common misconceptions, miscommunications, and challenges that occur in collaborative work. Participants will leave equipped and inspired to engage in ongoing learning and contribute to the success and well being of every student.
In addition to the three workshop days, course takers will complete readings and engage with recommended content; complete reflections and analyses; engage asynchronously with peers to help synthesize new learning; participate in optional additional meetings with the course instructors; engage in field work while applying course concepts; and produce a culminating artifact demonstrating evolution of professional practice.
