edWebinar: UDL and Learner Variability: Using Both Frameworks to Design Classrooms so Each Learner Meets Their Potential, Mar. 30, 3:00pm

Description:

Register for UDL and Learner Variability: Using Both Frameworks to Design Classrooms so Each Learner Meets Their Potential - CAST works to make education inclusive and invented Universal Design for Learning (UDL), a framework that guides the design of instructional goals, assessments, methods, and materials. The goal is to ensure all learners can access and participate in meaningful, challenging learning opportunities. This vision is shared by the principle of learner variability as demonstrated in Digital Promise’s FREE tool, the Learner Variability Navigator (LVN). Based on Todd Rose’s theories and research in his book, The End of Average, learner variability is the recognition that every student has a unique set of strengths and challenges across a whole child framework that are interconnected and vary according to context. When you understand learner variability, you see a design challenge, not a student problem.

In this edWebinar, you will learn about innovative ways to use both frameworks to design classrooms that allow each student to meet their potential:

• The principles of UDL
• How these principles are put into action in the classroom
• What learner variability is and how it connects with UDL
• How the strategies in the LVN can be used to complement the UDL framework
• Why research matters and undergirds both UDL and LVN

This edWebinar will be of interest to PreK-12 teachers, school and district leaders, and special education educators. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
