UNIVERSAL DESIGN FORLEARNING: EMBRACEINCLUSION, IGNITE POTENTIALEQUITY BY DESIGN: THE POWERAND PROMISE OF UDL: Presented by Katie Novak and Mirko Chardin of NOVAK Every student, without exception, holds the potential for success. Regardless of their background or personal identity, each learner deserves an equitable chance to thrive. We're on a mission to create inclusive learning environments where every student's unique attributes are recognized as assets, not barriers. In this session, we will challenge the status quo by urging you to confront your implicit biases, explore the dynamics of power and privilege, and see diversity as the cornerstone of progress. As we dive into Universal Design for Learning (UDL), you'll discover the power of this revolutionary approach to education. UDL is not just a strategy; it's a catalyst for change. It's about unlocking the potential within each student and creating a future where equity and inclusivity reign supreme. For all educators |
