Designing Learning Environments: UDL & ATL in the IB w/ Dianne Blackburn

What if inclusion wasn’t something we added on—but something we designed for from the very beginning? Dianne Blackburn joins us to explore how IB educators can intentionally design learning environments that support both student well-being and academic success. Drawing on her deep experience with the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework and her strong background in the IB community, she unpacks how UDL and the Approaches to Learning (ATL) framework can work together to reduce barriers, strengthen student agency, and support diverse learners.
