SXSW EDU 2020

Inclusive Learning, By Design

Description:

Informed by a panel of educators, designers and a psychologist, this discussion will explore how the k-12 environment can embrace neurodiversity through curriculum and space. Speakers will articulate the challenges students face today, and the drivers and trends that have led us to believe that shared learning environments allow all students to thrive. Imagine a school that breaks down traditional silos to ensure learning is fueled by neuroscience and transformative design.
