Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Helping all learners achieve better outcomes!
We are all the same... but we are all different... hmmm....
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework designed to help make instruction more accessible to all learners. Brain research shows that “one size does not fit all” and “student variability” is the norm rather than the exception.
UDL takes this current research and provides a framework for educators to make their curriculum and instruction “flexible” so their students can have meaningful engagement with the knowledge and skills they need.
Participants will look at their current school improvement efforts and determine how UDL can enhance these efforts!
Who should attend? Administrators, general and special education teachers
