🦁 Educators from Gravette High School and Gravette Middle School gathered this week for Universal Design for Learning (UDL) training at the Lion Learning Center.
The session brought together general education and special services staff to study how small changes in classroom design can lead to better outcomes for every learner.
Gravette Schools has entered a three-year partnership with CAST, the national leader in UDL, to strengthen instructional practices across the district. Special services is also working with the Northwest Arkansas Education Service Cooperative to provide continued training and support for this work.
Special Education Director Tyler Matlock shared, “We are very excited at what the practices of UDL can do for our students in Gravette Schools. Finding ways to give more access to students of all levels of need in the general education classroom is the goal of our department and district. Partnering with CAST helps us do just that.”
