    "Learning diversity” recognizes that individuals with learning disabilities have unique strengths and abilities, and emphasizes the importance of building on these assets in order to support their learning and development. The concept of learning diversity acknowledges that there is diversity within the ways that individuals learn, and that this diversity should be valued and supported rather than viewed as a deficit emphasizing the importance of creating inclusive and supportive learning environments that recognize and accommodate the needs of all learners, including those with learning disabilities. By using an asset-based approach and framing learning disabilities as learning diversity, educators can shift their focus from deficits to strengths, and work to create inclusive and supportive learning environments that empower all students to succeed. Focus will be on strategies for helping students with learning diversities succeed in the classroom with techniques for differentiating instruction, adapting materials and assessments, and using assistive technology. There will be continual exploration in which culture can impact learning and considering the unique needs and experiences of students from diverse backgrounds. Overall, the goal is to provide educators with the knowledge, skills, and strategies they need to support and empower students with learning diversities to reach their full potential.

    97. LILIE ONLINE: The Flexible Classroom: Empowering Equity with UDL & Blended Learning

    Program: Model Schools

    Dates: 11/1/2025 to 11/28/2025

    Starting Soon
    This course, The Flexible Classroom, serves as a comprehensive introduction to the intersection of two essential educational frameworks: Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Blended Learning. The course will demonstrate how these two frameworks complement each other to meet the diverse needs of all students. Often, educators feel burdened by trying to implement multiple initiatives separately, such as social-emotional learning, blended learning, and UDL. This course addresses that concern by integrating UDL and blended learning, emphasizing that they should not be viewed in isolation but rather as cohesive tools for designing flexible, responsive learning environments. By combining UDL's focus on providing multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression with the dynamic nature of blended learning models, educators can better serve all students while adapting to varied educational landscapes. Participants will have the opportunity to explore curated resources, including readings, videos, and interactive materials, and engage with content in ways that fit their learning preferences. They can also share their insights and applications with a broader educational community. The course is structured to offer multiple pathways, allowing participants to choose their own journey through the material. Ultimately, this course empowers educators to feel confident in applying these frameworks to create flexible, inclusive, and effective learning environments.
