Teaching and Learning Week, October 21 to 25
Advancing Accessibility and Inclusivity in Teaching
Teaching and Learning Week
October 21 to 25, 2024
Teaching and Learning Week is an annual event hosted by the Senate Teaching and Learning Committee to provide focused professional development for faculty, instructors, staff, and graduate students. This year’s theme will include accessibility requirements in teaching and was purposely selected to ensure Lakehead not only complies with the new Postsecondary Education Standards under AODA legislative requirements but that we also foster a culture of equity and inclusivity.
Through a series of workshops, presentations, and discussions, participants will:
- Explore the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and how to apply them in their courses.
- Learn from experts on how to meet and exceed legislative requirements for accessibility.
- Engage with peers about fostering inclusivity and equity in their teaching practice.
