Learn effective ways in welcoming, including, and partnering with students’ families throughout the year to support each child’s success in school and beyond!
There is a consistent correlation between students’ success and the involvement of their parents, guardians, and/or other family members in their education. Family members are children’s first and often most influential teachers, and are generally experts about their children and most invested in children’s success in school. Effective partnerships between teachers and other school personnel with the families of students is a key that can unlock rewards that may otherwise be unreachable.

This course targets meeting the needs of diverse learners in general and special education classrooms, particularly through strategic grouping. In order to group students most effectively, even in order to successfully teach students, it is imperative that teachers conscientiously get to know each student as much as possible. Often students’ strengths go unrecognized, and many needs go unnoticed, frustrating the teaching and learning process. When strengths are celebrated and deep needs are validated in students, their best efforts, abilities and character can be evoked. The course provides an overview of federal laws and regulations related to meeting the needs of students, as well as various needs that require the accommodation of teacher. Strategies are listed, but the bulk of the course discusses the component of arranging groups to meet students’ needs and to bring out their strengths. The course examines specific grouping options for particular dynamics and learning results. The course ends with an argument for maximized inclusion for students, as well as Dr. Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot’s model of portraiture in the field of education, to find ways of discovering, defining, and bringing out the goodness that is present in every student.
Learn to effectively create and maintain BRAVE SPACES in your classroom to foster mutual understanding and respect for one another as well as the ability to address current issues that we face as a society.
_____ As educators, we play a crucial role in society – we are daily facilitators of conversations that address and impact societal norms. We share precious opportunities to promote social justice through facilitating courageous conversations, regardless of the grade level or content area we teach. This course discusses principles, guidelines, expectations, and practices that can be embedded and implemented in our core instruction and in our daily interactions with our students to navigate the nuances of our own and our students’ complex identities, as well as societal challenges including oppression, privilege, bias and agency.View Syllabus
