Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a set of principles for curriculum development that gives all individuals equal opportunities to learn. UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone – not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs.
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
