This training will focus on the principles of universal design for learning (UDL) and culturally responsive teaching (CRT) as the means to support teachers in planning for students with diverse learning needs. Students with disabilities, students from different race, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds; and from low SES households have traditionally experienced an achievement gap and subsequent graduation gap in school. Using these pedagogies, teachers are guided to instead view this as an opportunity gap. The UDL and CRT frameworks assist teachers with planning to provide appropriate levels of support and challenge for every learner.
