This year the Institute is offering a new and exciting opportunity for non-language specialists to hone their skills in teaching multilingual learners through investigation of theory, research, and practice. It is open to both primary and secondary teachers.
This bilingually taught module (English/French) will seek to contextualize often conflicting understandings of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity with the aim of exploring pedagogical practices that support education for social justice and intercultural understanding in diverse classroom settings.
The multiple lenses of EDgility (e.g. transparency, collaboration, smallifying, slack) give educators a chance to consider the activity of learning and teaching from fresh perspectives. Several of the dozen EDgility practices will be considered by course participants, applied when possible in the participants' educational settings, and discussed (on a volunteer basis) among participants in the following synchronous meeting.
