Program Overview
This free e-learning training program offered through Disability Awareness has been developed by the National Disability Coordinator Officer Program and the Australian Disability Clearinghouse on Education and Training.
The program is designed for VET Educators and focuses on promoting a range of practices that support the development and implementation of inclusive delivery and assessment strategies that are responsive to the needs and requirements of students with disability.
The training consists of three modules which must be completed in successive order. Each module ends with a short quiz to allow participants to demonstrate their understanding. You can work at your own pace—you do not need to complete the training in one sitting. This program should take an average of 90 minutes to complete.
Learning outcomes:
Upon completion of this program you will have:
- developed a greater understanding of inherent requirements as they apply to training packages and units of competency
- an increased ability to determine appropriate reasonable adjustments, be able to account for these decisions and document these effectively
- an understanding of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles and practices
- developed an understanding of how UDL practices and approaches support students with disability
