In this episode, we take a new approach to the challenge of neurodiversity in the classroom and offer a simple solution for teachers to make their students feel welcome: the C.A.I.R. framework.
Join Mihai and Gillian Nycum as they discuss the concept of "neuropluralism"; not just inviting neurodiverse people to our table, but being curious about what goes on at theirs. They distill the challenges of balancing a classroom of diverse neurotypes into a simple acronym - the C.A.I.R. framework - designed to help maximize students' potential as learners and teachers' potential as leaders.
