Students bring their cultures, identities, languages and experiences to learning. They also bring differences in how they learn.

In this workshop we will demonstrate how UDL can help us design teaching and learning that embraces cultural diversity AND learner variability. 

We will highlight how the UDL Guidelines can help us recognise barriers to learning that may lead to discrimination and exclusion, and consider ways to minimise them. 

We will also introduce a people-first approach to reviewing our planning to strengthen inclusivity.
