Instructional design for diversity: an international school perspective

Do you want to translate international and inclusive educational principles into your own school context?
In this post graduate programme, you will design and implement a professional workshop or learning intervention that has a direct impact on your school practice.

This programme strengthens teachers ability to address the needs of diverse, and multilingual learning environments. We do this through research-informed, culturally responsive approaches, drawing on both Dutch and international perspectives. International frameworks such as those of the International Baccalaureate serve as sources of inspiration, always critically connected to and translated into the Dutch educational context, with the aim of enhancing the learning of all students.
