What is Universal Design for Learning? New |
|
|
In this presentation Birchland’s UDL
team will provide an overview of what Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is,
and how this theoretical framework has guided the educators at Birchland in the
process of changing the way they support students with a wide variety of
learning needs within the regular classroom setting. Participants will also be
provided with access to a wiki following this session containing the session's hand-out
and web links and offering further opportunities for conversation and support
following the session. To learn more about the UDL project
