Eureka 2

Overview

The saying, often attributed to Albert Einstein, "If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid," Diversity requires diversity, the challenge is, are we really acknowledging diverse needs and providing diversity in our teaching practice? This session will challenge the way we as a teacher conceive neurodiversity and our acceptance of the teaching practices that cater for various learning needs (beyond what is accepted as the norm). This session will explore what we can do to navigate and remove the obstacles in our teaching practice that become roadblocks to for our neurodiverse learners. Those obstacle's which so many of our creative geniuses have had to navigate.
