UDL: Designing for Learner Variability

Description:

Neuroscience tells us that every brain is completely unique, that every person is an individual. Yet schools still teach as if all students learn at the same pace and in the same way.

Join this interactive session to learn the basics of the neuroscience of learning. Participate in a brief design thinking activity that will give you a taste of how to transform your thinking and enrich your lesson design. You will leave ready to master UDL so that ALL students can become expert learners!
