Let’s Get Visual: Using Visual Supports for Clearer Instruction
Speaker: Aaron Lanou
Visual supports are a powerful, UDL-aligned practice that makes ideas more concrete, yet they’re often underutilized or misused in inclusive classrooms. In this workshop, we will explore the four P’s of visuals:
- Purposes: How visual supports benefit student learning and classroom success
- Principles: How to ensure visuals are clear, connected, and consistent
- Practice: Which visual supports to use to support classroom routines and lessons
- Production: How to use high-tech and low-tech resources to create useful visuals
Learn how meaningful visuals can clarify directions, simplify concepts, and create predictable structures to help all students be successful in inclusive classrooms.
