Building collective teacher effectiveness enhances student outcomes more than feedback and classroom management combined (Hattie, 2015).  As teachers begin to understand the principles of Universal Design for Learning, they soon ask, “How do I apply these principles to my lesson design process?”  This session is designed for those who possess an understanding of the “what” and “why” of UDL and collaborate with teachers as they navigate the “how.”

Learning Outcomes

1. Exploring  the UDL design process: clear, relevant, rigorous goal, identifying barriers, using the UDL Guidelines to find new instructional strategies in creating or revising lessons
2. Reviewing and practicing several approaches that support teachers in designing lessons to meet the widest range of learner variability in a classroom. These include: Plus One, Troubleshooting Approach, and Journey Mapping.
