Strategies for action
With a shared vision of learning and collaboration, equitably work together to ensure all learners have access, and can participate in learning in ways that work for them.
Collaboratively planning a universally designed learning environment
Begin with the people, with language, culture and identity. Listen first. Ensure both tangata whēnua and tangata titiriti voices are included in the design.

Making a collaborative learning support plan
