Universal Design Language (UDL) is a framework for inclusive education that aims to lower barriers to learning and to optimize each individual's opportunity to learn. This self-directed course will help you incorporate UDL into your Middle School Math lessons and assessments both in the classroom and online.
You will learn how UDL creates accessible and equitable learning environments with a flexible mathematics curriculum that is relevant, authentic, and meaningful for both you and your students! Each module presents a variety of ideas, self-reflection opportunities, and resources that illustrate how to apply UDL to your math design and instruction and provide you with multiple means of engagement throughout the course!
We all have different positions, come from different places, and have different strengths and weaknesses. The pandemic accentuated barriers and inconsistencies in our educational system. It is so important we all share and grow from our experiences implementing in-person, hybrid, and remote learning as these interaction techniques are here to stay. Regardless of the platform, this course is about helping you to personalize your mathematics teaching journey with UDL in all learning environments so you can personalize the journey for your students!
Remember, we are all “math people!”
