Providing appropriate differentiation can be challenging. Universal Design for Learning (UDL)  is an approach that aims to provide all individuals with equal opportunities to learn. It involves providing multiple means of engagement, multiple means of representation, and multiple modes of action and expression. These workshops will explore classroom strategies for including the principles of UDL, focusing on designing, implementing and reflecting on lessons to support all learners.

This professional learning community will be facilitated by primary teachers, Jennifer Holligan, Deirbhile Travers and Lisa Walsh who have been working to implement these ideas in their own classrooms. A professional learning community involves teachers working together in a collaborative, interactive and ongoing way in order to improve teacher practice and outcomes for students. This professional learning community will involve 3 online meetings. Jennifer, Deirbhile and Lisa will share their experiences and will encourage teachers to try out ideas in their own classrooms and discuss their successes and challenges in follow-up meetings.
