"WOW is all I can say! It was an accident that I found your site and what you had to offer. So far EVERYTHING with PLB has been top notch!”

Each classroom comes with a range of students with varied needs, learning levels and abilities. Teachers are thus faced with the challenge of teaching a diverse group the same lesson and ensuring that they all learn well. It can be easy to settle for teaching some, or even most of the students, while leaving out a portion of the class in the process. In this online course package, teachers are provided with a range of strategies like accommodation, modification, and adaptation of curriculum, materials, and instruction, to appropriately meet the varied needs of students in the classroom.

The frameworks provided here build on research findings that show how a learner’s level of recognition, strategic, and affective networks can all be taken into account to determine the best way to teach them. Teachers will be shown effective methods to detect students with weak cognitive skills, identify tools to strengthen those skills, and thus implement a Universal Design of Learning (UDL) within the classroom. By understanding the unique learning needs of “gifted” children, teachers will be equipped in the identification, instruction and assessment of these students while exploring related topics, issues and resources geared towards our gifted population.

This professional development package is also designed to educate teachers on various regulations and requirements, while developing a team that works together to improve educational results for children with special needs. The Professional Learning Board presents the Accommodations Package which includes FIVE self-study courses adding up to 25 hours of professional development.
