Innovative Learning is excited to welcome back guest speaker, Andratesha Fritzgerald, EdS, as she delivers a keynote address designed for practitioners on implementing Universal Design for Learning.

Keynote Address: Pain. Power. Honour. UDL and Anti-racism.   
Date: Thursday, March 2, 2023

Controversy is born the moment dreamers begin taking actions to invite the marginalized ones into the secret society of success. It takes bravery to dream beyond the locked gates of educational access for all. When we say “all” we need to be brave enough to identify the students who the system has not traditionally served. It is more important than ever that we recognize that our systems are not socially just or equitable for our students with disabilities, our English language learners, our LGBTQ students, our students who experience trauma, students who are economically disadvantaged and our BIPOC students. In order to design learning environments that are safe, welcoming, inviting and empowering we have to learn how to: 

• Acknowledge the pain of staying the same
• Disarm the danger of “power”
• Transform the code of power into the code of honour

This keynote is open to all Humber employees.
