Heather McCulloch
Sunday, September 15, 2024 - 1:00pm to 4:00pm

Let's kick off the second semester with YoJALT!!

YoJALT presents Heather McCulloch: "Unlocking Learning Potential: A Universal Design for Learning Approach for Inclusive Education"

"In today's diverse educational landscape, English instructors are increasingly challenged to provide inclusive learning environments that cater to the needs of all students, including those with disabilities. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) offers a framework to address these challenges by providing flexible instructional approaches that can be customized to meet individual learner needs. This presentation explores the application of UDL principles in English instruction, with a particular focus on accommodating visually impaired students."

Heather McCulloch, adjunct lecturer in Gunma, navigates her world with resilience despite nearing blindness.  A lover of audiobooks, spicy cuisine, and all things Hello Kitty, she embodies a vibrant spirit and determination.  Through her journey, she champions UDL, inspiring others with her passion and unwavering dedication.
