Conference Keynote: Equity by Design~The Power and Promise of UDL (Novak Education)

WASSW is excited to announce our Fall Conference Keynote Speaker, Mirko Chardin of Novak Education!

Equity by Design: The Power and Promise of UDL
We as school social workers are leaders in our districts. Gain tools to advocate for your students in the moment, in their individual plans, and by shifting school culture and systems for the better.
Every student, without exception, holds the potential for success. Regardless of their background or personal identity, each learner deserves an equitable chance to thrive. We're on a mission to create inclusive learning environments where every student's unique attributes are recognized as assets, not barriers. In this session, we will challenge the status quo by urging you to further confront your implicit biases, explore the dynamics of power and privilege, and see diversity as the cornerstone of progress. As we dive into Universal Design for Learning (UDL), you'll discover the power of this revolutionary approach to education. UDL is not just a strategy; it's a catalyst for change. It's about unlocking the potential within each student and creating a future where equity and inclusivity reign supreme.
