Introduction to Universal Design for Learning

Learn How to Support and Challenge All Students in Inclusive Classrooms.

The facilitated course Introduction to Universal Design for Learning will provide opportunities for practitioners to personalize their UDL implementation experience. This course is modeled after the best-selling book, UDL Now! A Teacher's Guide to Applying Universal Design for Learning in Today's Classrooms. Whether you’re a UDL beginner, or a seasoned veteran, there will be new resources and assignments that will stretch your thinking about what you and your students are capable of as expert learners.

The goal of this course is to give all educators the foundation to be able to proactively design lessons and assessments that support and challenge all students in inclusive classrooms. 

Each module will include a variety of materials to increase options for representation and increase engagement throughout the course. Additionally, although educators are required to design and implement a UDL strategy or lesson in each module and reflect on the effectiveness of the strategy, there will be numerous options for action and expression so all course assignments are relevant, authentic, meaningful, and aligned to educator practice.
