As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Vicky McCann or Shannon Norris (mccannv@adw.org or norriss@adw.org).

Through an online environment, teachers will experience first hand how tech tools and teaching can be used to create a UDL environment, differentiate and personalized instruction.
