Overview: This section focuses on providing participants with an overview of tools and approaches for applying Universal Design for Learning to their practice.

Optional Session: Action Plan Development /Sharing The goal of this session is to provide participants time and support to develop and share their action plans. You should allow approximately 3 – 4 hours.

Presenter Instructions: Tell participants it is expected that they develop a plan of action before they finish the training. Ask them to think about the presented concepts and ideas and figure out how they will apply Universal Design for Learning to their practice.

Identify the available action plan templates and explain the differences between these templates. Participants should choose the action plan form that best suits their personal preferences.

Participants are encouraged to work alone or work with others on the development of the action plan. Allow at least 2 hours to work on the action plan and one hour to share action plans with the group. Sharing is not a requirement, but rather a way to network with others and share resources.
