Cultivating Connection: UDL for Inclusive and Empowered Classrooms

Offered as part of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Community of Practice, this session—facilitated by the Employment Services team at Stella’s Circle, explores how Universal Design for Learning can create spaces where all students—especially those from marginalized communities—feel seen, valued, and supported. This session will offer practical strategies to design learning environments that foster belonging, agency, and equity. Participants will leave with tools to center connection in their teaching while reducing barriers to participation and success.
