Designing instructional experiences that are both culturally responsive and universally designed can seem like an intimidating task but these frameworks are quite intertwined and symbiotic.
This course will demystify the picture of success for teachers who are ready to examine the art and science discovered in the cross-section of UDL and Culturally Responsive Teaching. We will examine personal viewpoints and insights through the lenses of UDL and Culturally Responsive Teaching and identify barriers to learning on a cultural level while shifting towards best practices for creating lessons and units that are culturally sustaining and linguistically appropriate.
