Achieving Everyone Together Spring 2006 Conference Series Featuring Dr. Alice Udvari Solner,
Gaines
Township Hall 9:00 –
3:30 Cost: $25.00 Alice Udvari-Solner, Ph.D.,
is a national consultant in education and holds a joint appointment at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison between the Department of Curriculum and
Instruction and the Office of Education Outreach. The graduate and
undergraduate courses she teachers on the topic of accommodating diverse
learners in general education settings are integral to the elementary,
secondary and special education teacher certification programs.
Differentiation, the design of effective curricular adaptations,
collaborative teamwork among educators and paraprofessionals, and systems
change toward inclusive education are key areas that are central to her
research and teaching. Morning

classrooms are comprised of students who differ greatly in their learning
abilities and needs. It only follows
that the techniques of teaching be as varied as those learners, with multiple
avenues for students to access the content, process, and products of learning. Too often a “one-size-fits-all” approach is
used to design lessons leaving some learners struggling to participate and
leaving teachers feeling they have not reached all of their students. In this session, participants are offered a
process of differentiating lessons that can be used across age levels and
subject areas. The Universal Design
Process resulted from a four year investigation that examined teacher
thinking in the development of inclusive lessons. Participants
will be actively involved in generating effective strategies for diverse
learners through video analysis and interactive activities. Numerous active, collaborative, and
brain-compatible approaches for differentiating instruction will be demonstrated
throughout the workshop. Participants
will have the opportunity to apply these techniques to their own
instructional context and consider specific students in implementation. Afternoon Session: Creating Change in Schools: Building a Social Movement for Inclusive
and Collaborative Practice How does change occur?
How can we as individuals take and active part in moving forward innovative
practices in our schools? This session
will focus on the power we hold as individuals to act as change agents in our
school communities and encourage us to “be the
