What does IQ really mean? Understanding “intelligence” to support universal design for learning- Repeated Session

Friday September 18, 2026 9:40am - 10:35am EDT

Limited Capacity seats available

Working memory? Fluid Reasoning? Processing Speed? What do they really mean and how do they impact learning? This session aims to provide a basic understanding of the components of “intelligence” and how you can use those components to support all learners despite ability level.

This session will provide attendees with concrete tools to support students with average to high IQ and accommodations to support students with low IQ.
