She wanted to know more about how students learn and why they had difficulty learning...so back to school she went!

She built her knowledge of UDL through her work at the University of Manitoba. Her work as a Consultant supported teachers in building inclusive practice in all divisions. She has in-depth experience doing professional development, with a focus on instructional strategies and implementation of such strategies. She has taught pre-service teachers at the University of Alberta for the past year. Kelly's joy has been found in supporting staff in the use of research-based strategies that make teaching and learning intentional and meaningful.

AllThe Elements of Structured Literacy are specific and are meant to support all learners. This overview session is a reflection about how literacy may be approached and how it serves students who struggle in literacy. We will look at how phonological awareness impacts all areas of literacy including decoding and comprehension and how all of these strands weave together to create literacy for all!
