Universal Design for learning

Below is the September Newsletter for Universal Design for Learning. 

As one of the District UDL Leads, along with my new partner, Nicole Reyes, we compile information that is specific to the goals of the District for the Universal Design initiative. This year we will be having classroom visits by a team observing the work we have been doing on this topic. This monthly newsletter will feature information that pertains to the guidelines and highlights our focus for the year, which is Student-Led Classrooms. 

In addition, we also hold UDL Design Lab nights throughout the year at the District Offices. On these nights, we will review the topic and provide resources and then allow you to explore videos, articles, and lessons in order to design activities that you can use in the classroom the next day.

Information about these nights and how to register are loacted in the newsletter. We hope to see you there!
