| Universal Design for Learning from Special Education to Regular Education | Nicole Glynn | This session is an engaging session exploring Universal Design for Learning (UDL) from the lens of a special education teacher that became a general education science teacher. Discover how UDL is embedded in daily instructional practices to support all learners. Through real-world examples and practical strategies, we will examine how 1) Student agency is enhanced through choice and voice, 2) Student feedback, input and co-construction of goals and projects drive learning, and 3) Clear, firm goals are set while maintaining flexible means for success. Whether you're a seasoned educator or new to UDL, this session will provide insights and strategies to create more inclusive and student-centered learning environments. | 29 minutes | 2025 | |
