Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference

Discover how Personalized Learning and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can be the centerpieces to fulfilling the promise of learner agency. As we try to educate all children to become independent and self-directed learners so they have choices in college, career, and life, our promise must be for each child to develop learner agency. But how can we fulfill that promise to create learner-centered environments where all children develop agency? The first step is an effective Personal Learning Plan (PLP) that includes goal setting and action planning so that every learner can develop the skills to support their own learning and become a learner with agency. Using the UDL Lens of Access, Engage and Express, participants will learn about a 3-step process to empower their learners to tell their story of who they are and how they learn that sets the stage in developing a Personal Learning Backpack of tools and skills and an effective PLP so that they become future ready. ..
