Course Purpose & Outcome
This self-paced course is designed for educators that are currently teaching in a school or district the leverages Google Workspace for Education.
The course looks to increase and expand educator understanding of two key instructional design principles:
- Universal Design for Learning
- Differentiation
To that end, course participants will explore the foundations of each of these two concepts and then explore specifically how to execute these ideas using the core set of tools available in Google Workspace.
