Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is often viewed through the lens of complex technology and intricate frameworks, but at its heart, it’s about the simple power of inclusive design. Join us for a webinar hosted by Katie Novak, Ed.D., founder and CEO of Novak Educational Consulting, where she’ll peel back the layers of technical jargon to reveal the core mindset of a UDL practitioner. Katie will guide you through the process of recognizing that learner variability isn’t a problem to be solved, but a reality to be embraced, creating expert learners who are purposeful, motivated, and resourceful.
Learning Objectives
- Distinguish between firm goals and flexible means, allowing you to set high expectations for all students while providing adaptable pathways to achieve them.
- Audit existing lesson plans to identify hidden “barriers to entry,” replacing them with intentional design choices that foster student autonomy.
- Internalize a UDL mindset that prioritizes equity and accessibility, ensuring that instructional decisions are driven by the diverse needs of the students in the room.
