WEDNESDAY, November 20, 2019
TIME: 8:00 - 9:15 AM
TEAM: Crestview Elementary:Christy Walter, Stephanie Carruthers, Kelsy Arnold & Barb Gentille Green
DESCRIPTION: Do you want to develop motivated, expert learners who can assess their learning, set personal learning goals, and select appropriate activities to support those goals? Attendees will discover the qualities of expert learners and how to design instruction to nurture these qualities in students by making slight but impactful adjustments to activities that are already in place. Strategies to effectively and efficiently collaborate with colleagues will be discussed, including how to design IEPs for implementation within the UDL designed classroom.

TIME: 12:45 - 2:00 PM
TITLE: You CAN Be in More Than One Place at One Time!
TEAM: Ridgedale Middle School:Lorri Ross, Dana Casto, Greg Rossman
DESCRIPTION: You can truly be in more than one place at one time in a UDL classroom! This session introduces UDL practices with standards-based curriculum, student-paced learning, and self-monitoring of achievement. The co-teachers presenting will share manageable ways to meet the needs of all learners in the classroom through technology and participation in hands-on activities. This session will utilize video clips, instructional materials, self-monitoring tools, and discussion to demonstrate the planning and implementation of specially designed instruction for all learners at all levels.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
TIME: 12:45 - 2:00 pm
TITLE: Social-Emotional Learning: Dancing with UDL While Ensuring Engaged, Compassionate, Expert Learners
PRESENTERS: Jen Townsend and Ron Rogers
DESCRIPTION: Understanding how social connections fuel our brains to grow and how we can consider engagement through a social, emotional, and cognitive system provides opportunities to socially-emotionally engage learners with the guidance of UDL to ensure access for all. This session provides a practical inquiry tool for educators to discover what is working in their practices to enhance learner engagement, and explores resources from the Social-Emotional Engagement Knowledge and Skills (SEE-KS) framework that provide educators with a focus on ensuring learning strategies to promote access, engagement, and expression of learning that promotes the 3i's of independence, social initiation and emotional investment in learners.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
TIME: 2:45 - 4:00 PM
TITLE: EVERY Learner is an Expert Learner! Weaving UDL and Specially Designed Instruction
PRESENTERS: Lindsay Slater and Barb Gentille Green
DESCRIPTION: As teachers become more proficient with intentionally planning instruction using the UDL framework, removing barriers and proactively seeking solutions, how do services outlined within IEPs fit into the picture? This session will activate background knowledge related to UDL and Specially Designed Instruction, and will dig deeply into the interwoven nature of the two. The co-planning process that teams of educators use will be detailed and how IEPs are written to align with a Universally Designed classroom will be introduced.

TIME: 8:00 - 9:15 AM
TITLE: Take the Lead in Improving Outcomes for Each and Every Child
TEAM: Lexington Western:Genelle Eggerton
DESCRIPTION: Effective education leadership makes a difference in improving learning for all students. In this session, leaders who want to change their culture and create an inclusive framework will hear about integration for all students, instructional planning, building strong co-teaching teams, creating buy-in, and moving a building and a district into evidence-based practices. The session utilizes conversations around leadership, evidence-based practices, and student learning as it relates to dyslexia, UDL, co-teaching, inclusion, and social emotional development.

TIME: 8:00 - 9:15 AM
TITLE: Exploring Hyperdocs Through a Personalized UDL Lens for All Students
PRESENTERS: Misty Ewry and Ron Rogers
DESCRIPTION: Come to this learning lab to experience the power of a personalized mini-hyperdoc, a digital lesson, that models the UDL framework. Too often assumptions are made about student technology competencies, and the learner variability is often overlooked. In this session, participants will begin to craft a Hyperdoc, reflecting upon the choices provided within the student tasks, by applying the UDL framework to support expert learners.

TIME: 12:45 - 2:00 PM
TITLE: Building Ninjas
PRESENTERS: Misty Ewry, Megan Trowbridge
DESCRIPTION: Interested in how to become a Ninja in the classroom? Let's face it, the classroom can seem like one giant obstacle course requiring a stealthy Ninja at the helm. No worries, for this session no stars, spikes, or swords are needed. Join us in determining how learner variability can influence your teaching style while collaborating with other Ninjas to learn the invisible walk.

Why should we take the time to implement this when there is no compliance police? How will we plan and deliver a manageable path with measurable student outcomes? In this interactive working and learning session (bring a device), we will share the What-Why-and-How tools to get on the path and connected to the vision of IDEA.
