Supporting Students Using UDL Principles for District Staff
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is based on a theory that any tool, asset, or scaffold which has been shown to benefit some learners should be standard tool available to ALL learners. By presuming differences in student background knowledge, learning styles, and cognitive strengths, and then resourcing their classroom with a complete tool set of supports, educators establish an environment that is presumptively inclusive. This session will bridge the UDL theory with practical implementation strategies for modeling UDL in professional learning and support. This course is worth 4 inservice points and DOES NOT count toward the ESE renewal requirement. NEXT OFFERINGS: CONTACT ESSA KENNEDY AT [email protected]
