As I facilitated these sessions, I became increasingly excited about the potential of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), blended learning, and social-emotional learning (SEL) to foster deeper learning outcomes. UDL, blended learning, and SEL can be harnessed together to create rich and meaningful learning opportunities for all students.
