Empower Learners to Become Expert Learners with a Personal Learning Backpack (PLB) presented by Kathleen McClaskey and Luis Perez
How can we use the UDL Lens to empower every learner with the tools and skills to become expert learners? In this workshop, participants will learn how to use the 3-step “Discover the Learner” process. First they will develop a Learner Profile of a learner they know that guides every learner to understand the what, how and why their learning. Next they will learn how to build a Personal Learning Backpack of tools, apps and skills to support learning, including built-in accessibility features and apps and extensions for iOS, Google and Microsoft platforms. As a final step, participants will create a Personal Learning Plan of their learner with goals and action steps so they can become agents of their own learning; expert learners prepared for college and career.

Empower Learners with the UDL Lens to become Agents and Advocates of their own Learning presented by Kathleen McClaskey
How can we implement the UDL Lens of Access, Engage and Express to empower every learner to become agents and advocates of their own learning? In this session you will discover how a special education case manager implemented the Learner Profile using the UDL Lens with her high school learners so that they could share their strengths and challenges in their learning that in turn empowered them to become advocates for their learning goals by leading their own IEP meetings.
