What is the Lunch & Learn?

What is UDL?

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is all about creating more meaningful and appropriate learning environments for students. UDL has three guiding principles: [1] Multiple means of engagement (i.e. teachers to provide relevant options for students); [2] Multiple means of representation (i.e. teachers to present information in different ways); [3] Multiple means of action and expression (i.e. allow the students to select the medium through which they demonstrate knowledge).

We understand that a lot of teachers may look at this and think ‘I already have too much to do!’. The good news is that Olus is here to help you bring UDL to your classroom while REDUCING teacher workload.

Meet your speakers for the day.
