Supporting students with disabilities and learning differences is essential for creating transformational educational environments where all students have the opportunity to thrive and lead. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a research-based best practice for creating learning environments that both support outcomes for students with learning differences and disabilities and, ultimately, all learners. We invite you to join us to reflect on practical and contextually relevant ways to leverage this framework to build learning environments where all of us thrive!
This course is open to classroom-based teachers, teacher training, support and development professionals, and school leaders who are grappling with how to better design learning environments to enable students with learning differences and disabilities to thrive!
