In today's classroom, the mix of students is more diverse than ever. Educators are challenged to teach all kinds of learners to high standards, yet a single classroom may include students who struggle to learn for any number of reasons. Join experts in the field of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) who provide participants with tools, strategies, and principles for designing lessons and units of study that meet the diverse needs of today's students. Universal Design for Learning helps meet the challenge of diversity by suggesting flexible instructional materials, techniques, and strategies that empower educators to meet these varied needs. Participants will:
- Learn how to design lessons that are grounded in research-based practices to improve learning outcomes for all students, especially those with disabilities, English Language Learners, and other at risk students
- Explore and apply the UDL framework to design lessons and units of study and collaborate with colleagues and other educators in hands-on activities to support lesson development
Who should attend? K-12 Teachers, Special Educators, Curriculum Coordinators, Administrators, and Instructional Technology Specialists
