BOOK SHELLEY TO SPEAK Shelley is a speaker that GRABS your attention! I kept asking myself, "But how will this look?" and imagining it to be impossible, but by the end of the workshop, I could see how to break it down and implement it from a group needs perspective. Thank you for this great insight! - Workshop Participant BRIDGING THEORY AND PRACTICE An Engaging Keynote Experience for Your Educational Community Inclusion is Evolving — Are You? For inclusion to be possible in today’s complex classrooms and schools, we need to evolve from outdated interpretations of what it means to understand and support students. In this session, through humour and real-world stories, Dr. Moore unpacks what has changed, what hasn’t, and what comes next. Participants will reexamine what inclusion means through updated lenses of diversity, identity, and belonging. In our ongoing journey towards more equitable education for all students, together we’ll surface hard truths, explore diverse lived experiences, and reflect on concepts that are critical to consider when understanding and implementing inclusion as everyday practices. Designing for Diversity How we understand inclusion is shifting. Rather than trying to include a few students who are different, we are striving to teach TO the difference. This session we will consider how we can integrate multiple inclusive frameworks that might guide collaborative teams to design for diversity, rather than retrofit for deficits. Getting to Know Students from a Strength-Based Perspective How do we capture student voice and information/data in ways that honour who they are, not who they aren’t? This session will look at individual and class dimensions that can be used for planning and advocacy from a positive and responsive perspective that reflects student identity and contribution. We will look at how we can use a class profile to make decisions that reflect the unique composition of a classroom community, and that build on Universal Design for Learning and Equity Oriented Practices. From Labels to Needs: Rethinking Inclusive Support for Students and Classrooms Inclusive practice is shifting away from medical and deficit-based models of defining students, and towards the intentional recognition of Disability as an integral identity within our communities. To translate this into practice, educators are increasingly aiming to understand and respond to students' needs and lived experiences, instead of waiting for and relying on designated labels to drive planning. In this session, we’ll explore how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and layered and responsive support models can help this shift, by proactively designing learning environments that reduce barriers from the start. Participants will examine how needs-based planning can create more flexible and responsive classrooms that benefit all learners, in both effective and efficient ways. BOOK SHELLEY
