This self-paced course is designed for teachers wishing to improve their instructional techniques for “Learning to Disagree” through innovative teaching strategies. The self-paced course consists of four stand-alone modules, each containing three strategies. Each strategy includes exemplar activities, reflective questions and suggestions on how they can be applied in the classroom. Teachers can choose the modules and complete them at their own pace. The course finishes with a concluding module in which participants are encouraged to think of how they can apply and adapt the strategies to their specific learning environment.
