Division for Early Childhood (DEC) Webinar Series – Creating Community, Navigating Construction

The UDL framework emphasizes the importance of building expert learners in any context. Learning and expertise are not static. They are continuous processes that involve practice, adjustment, and refinement for every member of the learning community. CAST defines expert learners as purposeful and motivated, resourceful and knowledgeable, and strategic and goal-directed. Expert learning takes shape differently when we create communities of support and construction zones of safe practice.
