Teaching strategies
Instructor: Olga Kazarina
How can we transform our classes to ensure that each student reaches their maximum potential? This course provides practical tools to implement active teaching strategies with an inclusive approach, based on Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Over four sessions, participants will explore and adapt key methodologies such as Project-Based Learning, Problem-Based Learning, and the Case Method - to create learning experiences that respond to classroom diversity.
