Seminar: Universal Design Daily (UDL) Hacks: Ideas for the Classrooms

UDL doesn’t have to be overwhelming! So many teachers are enthusiastic about UDL, but short on time and resources. This session is for any educator who wants ideas for integrating the principles of UDL into daily lessons and learning spaces immediately. Some of these high-impact ideas take no time at all and others require only minutes to implement. Featured hacks include showing “this and that”, adding “built-in” breaks, and offering assistive tech to all.

Speaker: Dr. Paula Kluth
