Making Math Accessible: Inclusion Strategies. Grades K-12

This course on enriching math instruction for neurodiverse learners will provide educators with the knowledge and skills necessary to design and implement inclusive, rigorous instruction that supports students' development of math skills and knowledge. Neurodiverse learners include students with ADHD, students on the autism spectrum, and students diagnosed with learning disabilities.

The course will cover explicit techniques to teach math concepts and skills to support the understanding and retention of math content. Educators will learn how to provide rigorous and culturally responsive instruction and feedback that considers the unique strengths and needs of neurodiverse learners.

In addition, the course will examine the role of the teacher in developing students' math reasoning, problem-solving, critical thinking, and logic.

Throughout the course, educators reflect on their teaching practices and develop rigorous, equitable, and inclusive math instruction. The goal of the course is to empower educators to become confident and competent teachers prepared to teach complex math skills to neurodiverse students.
