The Alberta Routes program initiative of NorQuest College invites you to a special webinar. Join us and guest speaker Beverley Titchener as we reflect on Accessibility in the EAL Classroom.

Workshop Description:

How can instructors and tutors make their lessons and learning environment more inclusive to all learners? In this interactive workshop, participants will explore some core principles of accessibility as it applies to the EAL classroom.  They will have an opportunity to walk in the shoes of learners who have unique learning needs and reflect on their own teaching practices. They will learn about tools, activities and simple tweaks that could make a huge difference in the learning outcomes of learners.

Speaker Bio: 

Beverley is the Program Support and Student Inclusion Advisor at NorQuest College. She has worked with an array of LINC students with unique accessibility needs: adult learners returning to learn, youth who have been excluded from education for one reason or another, students on the autism spectrum, learners who are visually impaired or have cognitive processing concerns. She and her team also assist with PD for LINC instructors and staff, helping them create an amazing learning environment for newcomers to Canada who have unique learning needs.
