Equity by Design with Charles Williams

An Exploration of the Intersection of  Equity and UDL

Equitable spaces never just happen. They are intentionally and carefully developed. These sessions will introduce participants to the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework and examine how it can be used to begin inequities within their schools. By exploring the why, what, and how of learning, participants will better understand how to curate instructional spaces to maximize effectiveness for both staff and students. All participants will develop a presentation that can be shared with their school community.

Fighting Your Inner Voice with Christine Ravesi-Weinstein

UNPACKING stories of strength, struggle, and triumph

Regardless of why, we have all struggled to fight an inner voice laden with self doubt and criticism. In this session, participants will hear the unique story of one educator’s fight against her inner voice. Additionally, participants will connect with others regarding periods of personal negativity and the strategies they’ve used to fight back and gain confidence. This session will help others begin to unpack the depths and layers of self-doubt we experience in an effort to further understand the stories of our students. The most impactful teaching occurs when we make connections with our students. These connections happen when we understand shared experience and emotion. Humanizing the educational experience for students through our own authenticity will help students be more successful in the classroom. Registration fee includes a copy of Christine’s book, Fighting Your Inner Voice.
