What is an accessible practice in education?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A good accessible practice in the education sector can be approached from different angles. Inclusive education, as defined below, describes the philosophy or paradigm that supports and guides pedagogical practices to make them accessible and effective for all. Differentiated instruction is a set of practices designed to ensure the success or improvement of everyone\u2019s learning, taking into account the diversity of learners in a group. The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) identifies organizational and structural strategies that enable students to fully participate in their learning and academic success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
