In this immersive session, we'll explore how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) guidelines and SEL are not separate initiatives adding to teachers’ already busy schedules, but powerful frameworks that build upon each other. Together, they create a unified approach to support students in a way that transcends traditional boundaries. We'll delve into how UDL, celebrated for its inclusive instructional practices, seamlessly integrates with CASEL's 5 Core Competencies, which nurture students' social and emotional growth. Throughout our session, you'll gain practical insights into how these frameworks bridge academic and emotional growth, support student voice and choice, and promote a culture of respect and empathy. By the end of this workshop, you'll see how these frameworks align and amplify each other, enriching your teaching practice and student support.
