| Overview |
One of the most common questions that seems to circle around Pre-K 12 education is a straightforward one: What are the similarities and differences between Differentiated Instruction and Universal Design for Learning? Often, a conversation around those topics extends to questions about how either or both models intersect with the MTSS Framework (Multi-Tiered System of Supports).
There are many commonalities among the models and some key differences as well. It’s helpful—and important—for school leaders and teachers to have clarity about both.
This one-session webinar is designed to answer educators’ questions about all three models—how they are alike, how they are different, and how they might intersect in the work of a teacher or school.
The webinar will include time for presentation, small group and whole group discussion, and time for individuals to pose questions to the presenter and to one another. |
