The U.S. has seen a three-fold increase in mass homicides over the past 15 years. It is the only type of homicide on the rise, defying much of the sociological and psychological research on the subject due to its unique motive: fame. Only mass media and social media can grant shooters this dying wish and confirm to other isolated, depressed and narcissistic men that their names and faces will be remembered. In this lecture, Dr. Johnston will discuss concrete actions that can be taken by media, researchers and citizens to turn back the rising tide of mass shootings.

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.
