The Special Options program, co-designed with and delivered by Flinders University, specifically aims to enhance your capacity to design high quality, differentiated learning experiences for diverse students.
What's being delivered lives up to the pitch of world-class. I wish I could have taken part in the Orbis program 5 years ago when I started teaching.
