Introduction

In this opening module, we will start with the end in mind – what do students need from their education in order to thrive in the world beyond school? What can we do within our educational systems to ensure every student is inspired and prepared to thrive once they leave our systems? Finally, how does Universal Design for Learning tie into this effort?

What You’ll Learn:

• How the ability to learn and ownership of your own improvement is essential to thriving in the modern world of work
• What expert learning is and how it meets to the needs of modern learners.
• How Universal Design for Learning intentionally and systematically builds students’ capacity to be expert learners
