Description

This course consists of a set of seven introductory modules that provide an introduction to Universal Design for Learning, a framework for addressing learner variability and supporting all learners to gain the knowledge and skills they need to become strategic, self-motivated, and goal-directed expert learners.

This self-paced session can be done on your own or within a learning community. Participants are asked to explore media, and engage in “Try It” activities to put the principles of UDL into action in their own kindergarten through post-secondary classrooms.

In this experience, participants will:

• Explore resources related to the theory and research basis of UDL including research on learner variability
• Learn about the UDL guidelines to learn how to reach the wide variety of learners in their classrooms
• Try out the UDL guidelines in practice
