"My collection of aphorisms and anecdotes, compiled over the years, serves as the platform for discussing the experiences of teaching and learning. Topics may include self/subject,  fear/favour, and the bridge of attention span. The premise is simple. We discuss what works."

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 curriculum 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 are being met through a number of teaching and learning strategies.

The Certificate is comprised of seven 3-hour learning modules, a coaching session, and a reflection 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.

Note: The modules must be taken in the following order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

If you have any questions please contact Katie Billard at katie.billard@humber.ca.

NOTE: Registration is open.

These days it seems like almost everything we do leaves us feeling drained and stressed. In fact, we seem to be more stressed out due to constantly changing times, instant technology, trying to keep up with everything and access to news and events from around the world. Learning how to make a few quick changes to your daily nutritional regime along with the addition of some simple stress relievers can benefit our drained brains immensely by decreasing the stress hormones and increasing the “feel good” hormones. This lunch & learn will give you a toolkit to use to help you make lasting changes in how you deal with stress and the drained brain.
