Closing the Gap with Inclusive Learning
Closing the Gap with Inclusive Learning will help consider visible and invisible learner differences and navigate the traditional elements of learning to open doors to wider perspectives and ideas.
Learners often feel motivated to participate in learning when they believe they are seen, heard and acknowledged by the facilitator and their environment. Sonali will share research-based and practical tips to learning professionals on how they can integrate the principles of inclusion into various aspects of their work. This can enable learners to feel like they are cared for and being spoken to. When we apply an inclusive lens to learning, it engages, inspires and motivates learners to actively participate in their development without fear of rejection and judgement.
Astute facilitators use both differences and similarities to offer deeper learning, more involved design and attract learners to participate and be themselves in the process of their development and growth. Attendees will be encouraged to reflect on their readiness to respond to learner diversity and act on opportunities for greater inclusion.
