Zooming In & Out on Inclusionary Practices with Shelley Moore and Katie Novak
What are all the systemic pieces needed as a part of a Universal Design Learning approach? In order for inclusion to be fully realized, there is critical systems change/complex change work that needs to be done (zooming out). We will discuss strategies and vision for what a newly designed inclusive and equitable system looks like. Every time Katie zooms out, Shelley will zoom in with a specific story about what this looks like, sounds like, and feels like for an individual student. Shelley will also share stories that help us imagine the impacts of this system on individual students and families supported by this work.
