Free Learning Modules on Learner Variability
Get started with courses based on the foundations of learner variability. Each course has an optional micro-credential associated with it. The course is a great way to start working toward earning that micro-credential.
What is Learner Variability?
This module is designed to provide an overview of the research on learner variability and why it matters. It includes an introduction to the Learner Variability Navigator (LVN) and explains why learning styles is a myth.
Leverage the Learner Variability Navigator
In this module we’ll dive into the unique features of the Learner Variability Navigator and highlight different ways educators can leverage the the tool

This module explores the guiding principles for designing for learner variability. It includes practices that support each principle as well as a self-assessment and an opportunity to create an action research project.
Learner Variability for Learning Differences
This module explores the shifts in mindset necessary for taking a strength-based approach that puts students at the center of the IEP process. With a focus on three key practices this module equips educators to take a whole child approach to developing strengths-based IEPs.
Learner Variability for MTSS
