Rhythm & Learning: Marching to Your Students' Beat
Description:
“Rhythm" provides an introduction to the Developmental, Individual-differences, Relationship-based (DIR) model, a framework for working with students with Autism. Attendees will learn the academic applications of this framework through a case study of an interdisciplinary poetry group run weekly at the Rebecca School. Attendees will then participate in their own model poetry workshop, followed by a discussion of how DIR principles and interdisciplinary teamwork contribute to student success.
