Inclusive Curricular Design encompasses the key elements of multiple teaching and learning approaches to offer a robust and accessible learning experience for all students. The principles of inclusive curricular design focus on a proactive rather than reactive approach to course design and are founded in equity, collaboration, flexibility and accountability. This Certificate addresses the idea that students are not meant to fit into a traditional “one size fits all” model of education and that applying the principles of inclusive design will ensure that the range of student diversities, abilities, and needs arebeing met through a number of teaching and learning strategies.

The Certificate is comprised of eight 3-hour learning modules, a coaching session, and a final application activity. Upon successful completion of these components, participants receive a Certificate of Completion.

This Certificate has been accredited by the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) - Educational Developers Caucus (EDC) of Canada to ensure quality in teaching and learning. For more information, please visit EDC Accreditation information.

The linguistic and cultural diversity of Humber’s student population contributes to the overall vibrancy of Humber, yet it also poses challenges for educators who require a greater understanding of how to meet the needs of their multilingual and culturally diverse students.  Meeting the needs of multilingual and international students requires educators to be sensitive and responsive to the unique differences of each student, and a willingness to implement instruction, communication and learning through a more inclusive type of pedagogy.  In this webinar, participants will identify how they can support international and multilingual students through various pedagogical strategies and techniques that support principles of equity in the classroom while maintaining academic standards.
