The UDL for SEL is a proprietary research-based, data-driven guide I developed based on the findings of my study of content-specific educators and leaders during and after school closures due to the pandemic. The UDL for SEL provides practitioners with the tools to improve whole-student and whole-educator success by aligning the core competencies of social and emotional learning (SEL) and the three neural networks of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL). This workshop guides participants through implementing and assessing their progression from Beginner to Leader of UDL for SEL implementation. Purchase of The UDL for SEL is required and available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and for Kindle.

Providing meaningful learning experiences requires a balance between content instruction, student engagement, and relevant feedback for both educators and students. The CRAFT Protocol is a four-step research-based feedback framework designed to improve instructional planning, increase student engagement, and facilitate a state of mind where students and educators continuously assess themselves using the central question, 'How can WE improve?'

The relationship between school and home is crucial for student progress and development, yet many educators and parents find it difficult to navigate. Additionally, schools want and need connection with the community in order to shift the narrative presented by the media. This session provides insights into the history of school-home connections, outlines interfering factors, and empowers educators and leaders to facilitate and maintain positive relationships that contribute to student success in and beyond the classroom.
