Student Insights
“Once again, these courses are thoughtful and push us to reframe and learn about what we are doing with students.”
“I have learned that teaching belonging, inclusion, and empathy creates a climate and culture in my classroom that mimics the world the children should be living in once they leave our school. These skills help to foster an environment where learning can take place, because the students feel comfortable, loved, and free to take risks.”
“I really enjoyed this course. It allowed me to go deep into all aspects of various disabilities that I wasn’t as familiar with.”
