Empowering Children as Young Advocates through Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Feedback form is now closed.

Through a Universal Design for Learning framework, discover how children establish a strong sense of self-identity, and progress from advocating for their own needs to advocating for others. Drawing from the Infant/Toddler Curriculum Framework and Preschool Curriculum Framework, learn how to support young children from 0-5 in their emerging advocacy skills: from demonstrating respect for an infant’s emotions and choices, to giving preschoolers the opportunities to build their independence. In this virtual training, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with other educators to explore different strategies that promote self-identity and advocacy skills from the very beginning of a child’s life.
