Universal Design for Learning is a framework that provides educators with a structure to develop their instruction to meet the wide range of diversity among all learners. UDL is a research-based framework that suggests that a one-size-fits-all approach to curricula is not effective. UDL was inspired by universal design in architecture, where design features intended for individuals with disabilities have had unexpected benefits for the general population (e.g. curb cut outs designed for wheelchair access have benefits for strollers, rolling luggage, skateboarders, etc.)
This is an introductory level, half-day training on the Universal Design for Learning framework. There is no registration fee.
This training will focus on:
• Understanding the history, purpose and research behind the UDL framework
• Exploring the UDL principles, guidelines and checkpoints
• Exploring multiple ways of access, assessment and engagement using digital media and tools
• Utilizing current resources available to support UDL
A snack will be provided.
