Seymour Community School Corporation strives to meet the needs of each student by removing barriers to learning.   We do this through Universal Design for Learning.

What is Universal Design for Learning?

• What is UDL? 
• Why UDL? 
• Mr. UDL's Busy Market

UDL is Universal Design for Learning, an education framework based on decades of research in neuroscience and endorsed by the Every Student Succeeds Act. UDL is considered best practice for teaching all students in an inclusive learning environment.

The goal of UDL is to create learners who are purposeful & motivated, resourceful & knowledgable, and strategic & goal oriented, in other words, expert learners. 

Start by embracing learner variability. There is no such thing as an “average” student. Every student has different strengths and weaknesses.

With UDL, teachers transition their role to facilitator, removing barriers to learning by giving students options and choices that empower them to take control of their own learning and reach rigorous state-standards. To universally design lessons, teachers must provide multiple means of engagement, multiple means of representation, and multiple means of action and expression.

Seymour Communty Schools Is part of the second cohort for the Indiana Department of Education's Early Literacy Cadre.  

SCSC's work with the Early Literacy Cadre is supported by theCenter of Excellence in Leadership of Learning (CELL)at the University of Indianapolis and the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE), the Indiana Literacy Cadre is working to help Indiana’s students read proficiently by the end of third grade.

To achieve this mission, the Indiana Literacy Cadre develops and implements collaborative professional development for K-2 educators across the state based on the Science of Reading, a compilation of evidence-based research on reading, reading development, and reading instruction.

Participation in the Cadre enables Seymour Schools to train three instructional coaches to work with teachers in primary grades.  They focus on development of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.Cc
