Participate and share: Poster 
Coaches, specialists, and educational leaders face great challenges post-COVID including addressing learning gaps, time restraints, and an influx of new teachers with little to no background in education. Participants boost their impact and influence on instructional practices by knowing how to combine elements of Universal Design Learning (UDL) and brain research to personalize coaching and professional learning experiences for teachers. Participants will be able to create differentiated professional learning platforms to overcome the challenges and obstacles of coaches and teachers that impede professional growth.
