Universal Design Learning (UDL) Math

About the Event

In this one-day professional development experience, participants will learn the rationale and principles behind implementing Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL is a framework that encourages us to proactively plan for student variability and empower our learners with voice and choice. The UDL framework improves and optimizes teaching and learning to support the positioning of all learners, including multilingual learners and students with learning disabilities, as leaders in your mathematics classes. UDL provides flexibility in the way information is presented, in the way students respond or demonstrate knowledge and skills, and in the way students are engaged. We will explore how current practices incorporate UDL, and experience some practices you may not be familiar with to engage students in mathematics, as well as develop expert learners of mathematics with UDL practices. We will embrace variability and develop an understanding of how our strengths and weaknesses are not static and are, in fact, ever-changing. WHO SHOULD ATTEND TK-12 mathematics teachers, instructional coaches, administrators, and elementary and middle school special education teachers.
