Choose your own adventure: Building on Initial Professional Development Opportunities to Develop Scope and Breadth of UDL Initiatives

This interactive workshop will offer participants the opportunity to reflect collectively on the impact initial professional development on UDL has, within institutions, on the scaling up of UDL initiatives.  The journey from PD opportunity to strategic involvement in UDL implementation across teaching and learning on campuses is not as linear as might be assumed.  A variety of ecological variables can affect the impact these windows of PD have on practice, or the scope of their amplification across institutions.  The workshop will lead the participants as they consider, beyond the actual content of UDL PD opportunity, what factors may limit the impact such UDL micro-credentials, or on the contrary magnify their potential. The workshop offers an opportunity to reflect, from an operational and leadership lens, what winning conditions need to be in place for PD on UDL to authentically take roots and achieve maximum outcomes.
