Room to Learn: Understanding how Universal Design for Learning can Address Barriers in Education
When students struggle in the classroom, the focus historically has been on the students’ perceived limitations. The study of neuroscience shifts the focus away from the students’ limitations – and examines how the curriculum and environment are creating barriers to learning.
Watch our webinar to hear from Steelcase and our panel of experts, educators and designers on how the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework can address barriers, improve the learning experience for all students and provide inspiration for the design of learning spaces.
Host: Katie Pace, Global Communications Director, Steelcase
Panel:
- Nicole Tucker-Smith, Founder + CEO, Lessoncast
- David Reid, Architect, Author + Principal, Multistudio
- Marisa Sergnese, Applied Research + Learning Consultant, Steelcase Learning
