UDL in the Primary Classroom

Implementing UDL into grades PreK through 3rd grade takes special consideration. Educators are often bewildered about whether or not it is even possible. How do you introduce choice, autonomy, and self-assessment to students who are still learning how to read, write, and regulate their emotions?

This course will engage participants in research, activities, and strategies for universally designing the PreK-3rd grade classroom. The primary focus will be on gaining a deeper understanding of the UDL Framework and how to apply the guidelines in a primary classroom, in order to reach the variability of all learners. Participants will explore various tips and techniques for universally designing the classroom and will develop lessons or units that implement the UDL guidelines that are aligned to educational standards.

The course is designed to provide participants with an option to engage in professional development in Universal Design for Learning in a flexible, universally-designed online structure.

Facilitated

  • Eight online learning modules containing videos, resources, and weekly assignments and/or discussions.
  • Direct interaction and feedback from your instructor and the opportunity to build community with your classmates through course discussion boards.
  • Lots of options and choices - UDL is at the foundation of everything we do.
  • Participants will be expected to pass in work by the due date, but will also be given the opportunity to revise and improve upon their work (just as students in their class should be given the same respect using the UDL framework).
