VSA Massachusetts would like to invite you to a workshop on Universal Design for Learning in Early Childhood!
When: Tuesday, June 2, 2015 4-6pm
What: This workshop is an introduction to Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and is particularly suited for educators working with children in early childhood. A challenge every early childhood teacher faces is how to successfully meet the variable needs of all children in their classroom. UDL is a framework that, at its core, is about making content and skills accessible to all students. This workshop will include an overview of the neuroscience research supporting the UDL framework and provide strategies for building lessons using that framework that support high levels of engagement and achievement for all young learners.
Presenter: Hilary Shea, BPS Inclusion Specialist
Location: VSA Mass. office, The NonProfit Center
