Transforming Practice Overview
The Equity Summit will officially launch Transforming Practice: Learning Equity, Learning Excellence modules. These modules focus on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) & Culturally Responsive Pedagogies and Practices (CRP). They were developed with first-voice and subject matter experts from most post-secondary institutions in NS.
As a Summit participant you will:
Be inspired by our keynote speaker Natteal Battiste
Explore the Transforming Practice modules and their roll-out across Post Secondary Institutions in NS
Learn about best practices to create equity-centered learning environments
Participate in collaborative discussions with UDL and CRP champions who have developed model courses
Identify how to champion UDL and CRP in your institution through Communities of Practice
The Equity Summit will support the creation of Communities of Practice in the post-secondary sector to help faculty, teaching and learning centre staff, and student services staff implement UDL and CRP into their professional practice. Through the implementation of UDL and CRP, post-secondary institutions can create inclusive, safe and positive learning spaces for students to thrive.
Please join us as we work collectively (&) to transform the post-secondary sector in pursuit of equity and excellence.
The Equity Summit is presented by the Nova Scotia pan institutional post-secondary Social Equity Working Group. The Social Equity Working Group (SEWG) looks for opportunities, efficiencies and partnerships aimed at improving the economic and social well-being of Nova Scotia students by upholding the Provincial commitment to educational equity and specifically the implementation of UDL & CRP across the sector.
