Universal Design for Learning (UDL) - Implications for District 90 - Presentation led by Alison Hawley and Ed Condon
Dr. Condon and Dr. Alison Hawley, Director of Curriculum and Instruction, provided a high-level overview about Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and its implications for District 90. Their presentation discussed several key elements of UDL including the difference between UDL and classroom differentiation, considerations prior to implementation, and alignment with the District's Strategic Plan, Vision, and equity and engagement goals.
According to Dr. Hawley, every child comes to school with his or her individual learning style. Through its framework, UDL increases access to high quality learning by using flexible approaches for creating instructional goals, materials, and assessments that can be adjusted for individual students. UDL accomplishes these goals by facilitating multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression. Dr. Condon discussed some of the potential barriers that the District must address in executing UDL, such as organizational culture issues. Dr. Condon and Dr. Hawley expressed the conviction that UDL provides a way for students and faculty to meet the goals of 21st century learning by facilitating strategic learning and supporting students to become lifelong learners.

D90 Annual Compliance Report: Student Data Privacy
Dr. Condon and Kevin Martin, Director of Technology, presented the Annual Compliance Report that focused on student data privacy. Board of Education (BOE) members requested an annual report on the District's compliance with the
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and other related board policies, rules, and legislation that are designed to protect the privacy of student data. Dr. Condon explained that the safeguards adopted this year to protect student data have been effective. T
he legal firm Engler, Calloway, Baasten & Sraga, LLC has sent the District correspondence affirming compliance with state and federal laws and board policies. Mr. Martin explained the new procedures for student data privacy as well as the process that inventories the electronic platforms, software, systems, and applications that are used for classroom instruction. Going forward, the District will develop and implement a data security breach response plan. The recently formed Technology Committee will also provide oversight on the implementation of additional safeguards. Dr. Condon complemented Mr. Martin on his leadership and the manner in which his team collaborated and instituted initiatives to protect and inform families.
