Abstract

In this video, Suna Verhoef discusses providing Learning and Teaching Support Material in a creative way. She discusses her own experiences with a lack of specialised training for educating learners with visual disabilities, and her experiences with engaging with the Expanded Core Curriculum in her class with her learners. She discusses her experience in adjusting a class on the trans-Saharan trade routes to include learning support materials that would cater for children with visual disabilities, including the use of physical props, sound clips of appropriate audio, and physical learning activities such as roleplay. She discusses how the Expanded Core Curriculum provided a framework for reworking a lesson to incorporate life and social skills that made the lesson more effective and improved the quality of learning for her students.
