Ed Current: Innovate Inside the Box

Feeling trapped inside the box? For educators, the box is the reality of standards. But change-makers can learn to design ELA instruction that builds on student strengths and allows the students to self-differentiate their learning using self-direction, collaboration and resourcefulness.

Join Jamie Richard and the dream team of George Couros and Dr. Katie Novak, co-authors of “Innovate Inside the Box,” as we share how to cultivate an innovator’s mindset using UDL principles that support all learners for our most actionable, impactful and downright fun Ed Current webinar to date.
