Kelly has spent her educational career supporting students with a variety of needs and supporting staff building instructional strategies. She wanted to know more about how students learn and why they had difficulty learning...so back to school she went! As a teacher and a Reading Specialist, Kelly holds a Masters degree from the University of Alberta in the area of language and literacy development and specialized assessment. 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.

Psychoeducational assessments contain a great deal of information. Academic assessments and cognitive assessments are administered and the outcomes can provide a learning profile for the student. This session will provide an overview of how information from this type of assessment can help inform the teacher in building a program for the student. It is important to note that some Specialized Assessments can be complex and at this time, we will look only at those where the diagnoses pertain to academic supports in the classroom (e.g., LD, mild cognitive diagnoses).
