Workshop: Planning for Learner Variability
August 22, 2025 at 2:00pm – 3:00pm EDT
Bird Library, 550 (CTLE)
This workshop will begin with a short discussion of how and why “learning styles” are a harmful neuromyth and then explore why “learner variability” is a more productive and empowering way to frame the wide diversity of student life circumstances, interests and educational experiences. Then we’ll delve into specific examples of how to plan for learner variability, including using a variety of modalities and means for assessing learning, to increase inclusion and accessibility for everyone in your class. We will be offering two sessions of this workshop: one via Zoom and one in-person.
