Breaking Down the Barriers with Universal Design for Learning !

Course description

This session is part of the Kansas Infinitec Virtual Practitioners' Technology Summit on February 25, 2022.

During our morning session, Nicole Peters from Blue Valley School District will be discussing how educators can proactively design lessons and integrate technology to support the diverse learners in their classrooms.  Nicole will guide participants in identifying barriers in our environments using the Universal Design for Learning Guidelines. Universal Design for Learning  (UDL) is an approach to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all by setting clear, rigorous goals; anticipating barriers; and proactively designing to minimize those barriers. The UDL Guidelines provide a practical, scientifically based method that will improve your daily teaching, technology integration, and curriculum design.  Katie Novak, author of UDL Now!, explains "UDL is not just about providing tools for students to access learning experiences and managing your classroom.  It's about eliminating barriers so every student can succeed."
