Workshop
ACE educators work with learners who bring diverse strengths, experiences, and ways of learning. This one‑hour online panel brings together experienced ACE practitioners to share insights and practical examples of inclusive teaching that acknowledge neurodiversity, varied learning preferences, and learners’ lived experiences.
Through guided kōrero, panellists will reflect on what inclusive practice looks like in real ACE contexts, how barriers to participation can be reduced through thoughtful design, and how diversity can be made visible and valued in everyday teaching. The discussion focuses on proactive, inclusive design rather than individual adjustments made after challenges arise.
You will explore through panel kōrero:
- How learner diversity and neurodiversity show up in ACE learning environments
- Inclusive teaching approaches that support engagement, dignity, and participation
- Practical examples of making learning design and delivery more accessible
