Instructor-Guided UDL Equity Course
Novak Education is offering an instructor-guided virtual course starting in October focused on the connection between UDL and social justice, culturally responsive practices (CRP) , impact over intentions, disproportionality, and integrative comprehensive systems. Discussions will focus on identifying and eliminating systemic barriers that result in systems that don’t work for all students, especially those who are culturally and linguistically diverse. Beyond understanding the what and why of UDL for Equity, you’ll walk away with actionable strategies and tactics to address inequities in our ever evolving learning environments. A natural next step from our work with Shelley and Jacinta!
This 45-hour course costs $475 USD and is eligible for Professional Learning Allowance funding. Please see Jacqui, Sara, or Kasson for details.
