The objective is to prepare participants to deal with the demands of inclusive education, promoting learning that respects the diversity and uniqueness of each student.
Classes will be taught in a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), combining synchronous and asynchronous activities.
The modules offered are:

- Human development, teaching and learning from the perspective of inclusive education (30 hours);
- Inclusive curriculum, technologies and pedagogical practices (30 hours);

Each module addresses fundamental themes for building an inclusive and effective pedagogical practice.
In addition, participants will have access to high-quality teaching materials and interactive activities that simulate real school situations.
Who can participate?

Teachers who work directly in the classroom will be able to apply the knowledge acquired, benefiting their students and promoting a more equitable education.
Selection Criteria
Places will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis until the limit of 4.266 participants is reached. Additional registrations will form a waiting list.

Why participate?
Inclusive education is a growing issue in Brazil and around the world.
Courses like this are essential to train professionals that seek to meet the needs of all students, regardless of their individual conditions.
According to education experts, investing in continuing education has a positive impact on the quality of education.

According to recent studies, educators trained in inclusive practices present better results in student engagement and performance.
