Learning Opportunities

Teachers are exhausted because they do the lion’s share of the work. This workshop will guide teachers in reimagining time-consuming, teacher-led workflows that are ineffective and help them to shift to more sustainable student-led workflows. This workshop will focus on developing a partnership with learners and embracing workflows that position the learners as active agents in the learning process. We’ll explore how teachers can leverage blended learning to create the time and space for these sustainable workflows and use the principles at the heart of Universal Design for Learning to ensure these workflows are accessible, equitable, and inclusive. Teachers will leave this training with concrete strategies designed to help them shift to more student-led sustainable workflows. These workshops are hands-on and practice-based, so participants will leave with resources they can use immediately! Perhaps most importantly, participants will be able to access this learning whenever it works for them.

Videos and and supporting content will only be available from March 2-April 19.


The three workflow shifts this series will highlight include From Transfer of Information to Student Discovery, From Formative Assessment as Teacher Tool to a Metacognitive Skill Building Tool for Learners, and From Teacher Initiating Parent Communication to Learners Owning the Conversation About Their Progress. This collection of workshops is based on the presenter's upcoming book with Dr. Katie Novak titled UDL and Blended Learning 2: Shifting to Sustainable Student-led Workflows, which will be released in spring 2022!
