Engaging Diverse Learners

In this interactive workshop, we will explore the ways people prefer to receive and process new information (learning styles) and discuss how to design learning activities that address those preferences as students move through the stages of learning (learning cycle). Bring a lesson or topic to (re)design for the diverse learners in your classroom.
