“Don’t We Already Do Inclusion?”- Creating Schools for All

Keynote Speaker:  Dr. Paula Kluth

Are you interested in learning more about inclusive schools? Do you want ideas for designing lessons with a UDL [Universal Design for Learning] lens? Do you want to explore how to create or support classrooms that are engaging, responsive, and welcoming to all?

If you answered “yes” to one or all three of these questions, this workshop is for you! The activities, examples, and illustrations in this session are designed to help participants refine their vision and their skills when it comes to inclusion. In this high energy workshop, Dr. Kluth will discuss what inclusion should look like today and share relevant research, classroom examples, and illustrations of powerful practices. Come and learn tried and true techniques as well some out-of-the-box solutions.

Topics that will be addressed include “teaching up”, joyful and active learning, UDL, collaboration and role sharing. This interactive day also features video clips, stories, community-building exercises, a game show reenactment, brain breaks, flying monkeys, and a microphone covered in glitter.
