Target Audience
Primary audience:
- Classroom Teachers
- Intervention Specialists

Secondary audience:

- District Leaders
What is UDL?
Session 1 (Morning): What Is UDL? & What Isn't?
Participants will learn the foundations of Universal Design for Learning and participate in a lesson that applies the tenets of the UDL framework. By the end of the morning session, attendees will be able to explain the differences between UDL and Differentiated Instruction as well as spotting examples of each.
Participants will also be able to identify the driving principles within the Universal Design for Learning.
Session 2 (Afternoon): How to Apply UDL
Participants will examine samples and generate ideas they can take back to their classrooms to use in any lesson they choose. We will further examine the ways UDL can be delivered in the virtual learning environment and how following the guidelines of UDL will aide teachers in meeting the needs of all of their students. Participants will also be provided with time to begin using the UDL framework to plan a lesson or unit.
Universal Design for Learning - Why should I attend?
The Research:
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a research-based set of principles to guide the design of learning environments that are accessible and effective for all. Now endorsed by federal policy and that of many states and districts, UDL informs all of our work in educational research and design, professional learning, workforce development, and publishing.
According to the National Center on Universal Design for Learning at CAST, the research that supports UDL comes first from the research basis for the general principles of UDL, which comes from cognitive learning science and neuroscience, and is also derived from the work of Lev Vygotsky and Benjamin Bloom on understanding individual differences and the pedagogies required to address them. Research has been identified on specific practices for meeting the needs of individual differences as well as research on the specific applications of UDL. Links to the research can be found under Research on the National Center on UDL website.
Useful in new state Evaluation System:
The new Teacher Evaluation Rubric requires teachers to demonstrate how they utilize data to drive their instruction for all students. Differentiation can only take you so far when it is you and 180 students a day. Knowing how to apply the principles of UDL will provide you with not only a strong framework to improve student growth and learning, but will also help you demonstrate your skills as an accomplished educator.
