Creating a digitally inclusive learning community
Contents
Description
In a world where everything (from banking to benefits, shopping to government services) is online, it is essential that schools create a digitally rich learning environment that supports the needs of every learner. Achievement for All is a leading educational charity that enables all children and young people to succeed regardless of background, challenge or need. In a partnership with Microsoft, we offer a learning path that will create a more digitally inclusive school community, unlocking progress and achievement for all children.
Learning Path Outline
The Inclusive Educator
In partnership with the AFA, an introduction to the Achievement for All Employability Framework, which includes Digital Literacy, which is entirely focused on providing an inclusive education for all students from SEN, to the bottom 20% to the most able learners.
Introduction to Inclusive Digital Literacy
How can we equip every young person (especially those with special education needs and disabilities) to be digitally literate in a world where government is now on-line, banking is now on-line, insurance is on-line, shopping is on-line... as well as much of our social and leisure lives too? Young people adapt well to changing environments and demands when it comes to social media, gaming and streaming media content: but they need more.
Developing a Digitally Literate Learner
Digital Literacy is a set of fundamental life skills as well as a body of knowledge. This course gives you an opportunity to reflect on a young person’s learning journey: the progressive growth of digital competency, from pre-school to adulthood.
Developing a Digitally Literate Pedagogy
Before developing a rich digitally literate classroom, we must ensure that we are digitally literate ourselves! Teachers can easily be left behind as technology takes massive leaps forward. Learn to embrace change and look for opportunities to exploit the available digital resources to the max.
Developing a Digitally Literate Curriculum
Rather than ‘rush to innovate’, this course encourages you to pause for a moment, consider the needs of individual or groups of learners, then align curriculum delivery and development to meet their needs: child-centred innovation.
Assistive Technologies
This course brings together the thinking promoted within the "Creating a Digitally Inclusive Learning Community" pathway.
