Information:
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an instructional framework that helps educators to meet the learning needs of all their students. But how do you apply theory to your planning? This workshop focuses on integrating the UDL principles into best practice through a 6-step UDL lesson planning process that works for all curriculum areas, all ages, and all learning environments. During this workshop, you will use a UDL lens to (1) define flexible, clear S.M.A.R.T. learning goals based on standards, (2) consider the classroom impact of learner variability, (3) determine appropriate, meaningful assessments, (4) infuse UDL into traditional teaching methods, (5) select materials and media that add value, and (6) refine your learning through self-reflection. You will leave with ideas you can immediately apply.
