Teams from Arkansas schools are invited to attend this full-day professional learning opportunity provided by the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education. Attendees will explore evidence-based approaches to enhance outcomes for all students. The approaches to be examined include cognitive and metacognitive strategies and the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Guidelines. Teams will collaborate to develop a UDL lesson plan and explore how the Council for Exceptional Children’s High Leverage Practices can support all students, including those with disabilities. School teams should consist of the principal or assistant principal, counselor, general education teacher(s), special education teacher(s), and other stakeholders. The knowledge gained will be instrumental in providing teachers the skills they need to support all students in general education classrooms as the state promotes core instruction being provided in inclusive, general education settings.
Attendees are asked to bring a device (tablet or laptop) and earbuds.
