CA UDL Summit

Based in Vancouver, BC, Dr. Shelley Moore is a sought-after inclusive education researcher, collaborator, consultant, and storyteller.

This 15-minute engaging session explores how general and special education teachers can collaborate through Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to fulfill IDEA's true purpose—ensuring meaningful, individualized education in the least restrictive environment. We’ll delve into how UDL empowers educators to co-create flexible, inclusive learning environments that embrace the strengths and needs of all learners.

Drawing on the expertise of Katie Novak, Shelley Moore and Emily Mostovoy-Luna, participants will discover pathways to increase student engagement, voice, choice and begin to look at IEPs as a UDL practitioner and leading in IDEA’s vision of fostering authentic student agency and success.

Presented in their signature, fun style, complete with analogies and lively examples, this will be a memorable session that sticks with participants. This mini-session is ideal for educators looking to deepen collaboration between general and special education and create classrooms where every student thrives.
