Participants will learn about UDL Rising to Equity, a community-driven project by CAST. They will have an opportunity to engage in an ongoing conversation to update the UDL Guidelines to address systemic barriers that create inequitable learning opportunities and result in inequitable outcomes for learners. Through facilitated breakout room discussions, participants will be able to share their experiences, suggestions, and expertise regarding how UDL may be applied as a lever for equity and what gaps may exist in the current Guidelines. Participants will also hear from a school applying UDL to address equity concerns and reduce barriers due to individual, structural, and systemic bias.

LOVE these posters. Love the ideas and the graphics.   BCSC, how did you incorporate these into classroom routines?  Were they enlarged as bulletin board posters posted around the room? Or  were students given these as quick guides?  Can you share strategies for introducing them and using them within the curriculum?

Thank you, Denise! These were created to support teachers in teaching about the UDL guidelines and support students advocating for themselves. Some teachers put all of the posters in an area and put a large star of the guidelines I Can Statement they were focusing on that week. These were used at the elementary level and kindergarteners were able to state these and began using the language!
