ABOUT THE COURSE
This 9.5 hour professional learning course is based on the book co-authored by Dr Bree Jimenez, Dr Ginevra Courtade and Dr Diane Browder, 6 Successful Strategies for Teaching the Australian Curriculum to Students with Intellectual Disability and Autism. It is designed for teachers of students with intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder taught in mainstream classes, special classes and special schools. Teachers learn to plan units of work for all students using Universal Design for Learning as a framework.
The course will be presented via four Zoom Meeting sessions across two weeks. The six strategies are taught to teachers using a “Tell-Show-Try-Apply” (Browder et al., 2012) approach. Teachers will be ‘told’ of the evidence and research behind the practice. Next, they will be ‘shown’ an example video or sample of the practice with real teachers/students with intellectual disability/autism spectrum disorder. Next, teachers will ‘try’ the practice via hands-on application activities and role-playing in Zoom small group breakout rooms. Finally, teachers will be expected to ‘apply’ the practices within their own teaching setting by completing 1/2 hour assigned homework after sessions 1, 2 and 3, with follow-up feedback.
