How can we design Tier 1 instruction that is deeply rooted in joy, faith, and purposeful learning, while ensuring all students are engaged, challenged, and empowered?

Inspired by Catlin Tucker’s Station Rotation Model and guided by Universal Design for Learning (UDL), participants will explore how to design inclusive, student-centred learning experiences that honour learner variability and promote deep thinking. Through meaningful technology integration, teachers will focus on aligning digital tools with learning goals to foster agency, differentiation, and authentic engagement.
Participants will experience station rotation in action through three lenses: a science-based model, an English Language Arts/literature model, and a cross-curricular application. These experiences will highlight how intentional design can cultivate joy, rigour, and ownership across disciplines while embedding opportunities for faith connections and purposeful learning.

Educators will collaborate to design their own station rotation plan, leaving with practical, ready-to-implement strategies and student-centred experiences to support learning from September through November, ensuring their classrooms are truly rooted in joy from the very start.
