*NOTE: This is for teams that missed the first session and want to join in for the remaining in-person sessions, book study and four intersessions as well as the consultation. Newly-joining teams will have access to the materials from session 1 and CVEDC will get the book to them to catch up as soon as they register. The price has been adjusted to reflect this.

Target Audience: Teacher Teams and Building-Based Teams including special educators, paraprofessionals, coaches, etc.

This UDL series will span 2021-2023 and is an opportunity for educators to gain information about the UDL framework design and intent and create and implement a team plan for implementation.

In addition to 2 full day in-person sessions each year, there will be asynchronous, virtual sessions as well as 45-minute consults with each team mid-year. The design is to help teams gain a deeper understanding of the framework, including what it means to be an expert learner and what rigor looks like. Teams will have the opportunity to work where they are in the framework.
