Professional+Development



Statement: Professional Development training will be provided when asked to present Universal Design of Learning. I anticipate professional development on Universal Design for Learning will be in the near future as the Maryland State Department of Education is considering implementing UDL principles in the Maryland Curriculum.


 * __UDL Bill Passes in Maryland__**

"The Mayland Down syndrome Advocacy Coalition (MDAC) is pleased to announce the passage of the Universal Design for Learning bill (HB 59/SB 467) in Annapolis. The uDL bill is now "enrolled" and is awaiting signature from the Governor. This bill, entitled "Task Force to Explore the Incorporation of the Principles of Universal Design for Learning into the Education Systems in Maryland," is the first of its kind in the nation, reinforcing Maryland's repurtation as a progressive state that constantly strives for excellence in education. This bill will establish a statewide Task Force of stakeholders that will make recommendations related to UDL implementation in Maryland."
