AT Journey - Online Facilitated Course
Event Setting
Assistive technology (AT), defined as anything that supports learners in doing things they would not otherwise be able to do, can provide the traction learners need to succeed but is often intimidating to educators who think of it as very specialized.
Staff participating in the AT Journey will be empowered to individually consider, select, and implement AT for their students, yet also recognize when additional perspectives (e.g., teacher, administrator, itinerant staff, paraprofessional, parent, etc.) are critical to this process.
During the AT Journey Virtual course, participants will engage in identified coursework from the Alt+Shift website before live sessions. Live sessions will offer opportunities to participate in small and large group discussions, dive deeper into the content, ask questions, and connect with other educators who are engaged in this work.
