Workshop description: How do you plan a lesson using UDL? The following session will provide participants with several different tools for proactively planning lessons to meet the needs of all learners. Join Matt Bergman as he shares the importance of developing clear goals and providing flexible means, including examples of lesson makeovers designed to infuse flexibility in the product or process. Participants will also investigate strategies for developing flexible and construct-relevant assessments. Special emphasis will be placed on the UDL principle “Multiple Means of Action and Expression.”
