Creating a Safe & Engaging CTE Environment for All Executive Functioning

This course aims to help CTE educators at the postsecondary level refine their teaching practice by creating welcoming, engaging classrooms (or shops, labs, theaters, farms, studios, job sites, etc.) for all learners. Participants in this course will explore how to create safe, meaningful, and engaging learning environments. You’ll learn about how to foster creative problem solving, bring student voice and experience into the classroom, bolster student engagement, and create a dynamic, learner-centered CTE environment.

This course is intentionally designed through the lens of Universal Design for Learning, or UDL. UDL is a research-based educational approach that optimizes teaching and learning. This course will highlight UDL-aligned practices and include concrete examples of how you can apply these practices in your CTE courses.
