Sustainable Living (Sásta-nable Living) for Divergent Learners
Developing sustainability courses for special needs and divergent learners.
)
This project developed a sustainability course for people with special needs. The course aims to educate divergent learners about sustainable practices and environmental issues. It also aims to teach practical skills for independent living.
This project developed training material that caters to diverse learning styles. Written assignments, visual presentations, and numeracy activities will provide a well-rounded learning experience.
Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Education and Training Board and Down Syndrome Ireland designed a handbook and worksheet bank. Modules cover topics like life science horticulture, food science, visual art, and computing.
Students will showcase what they learnt in an end-of-term exposition. Exhibits will display sustainable projects like moss wall decorations, 3D sculptures, and digital art.
