Description

Universal Design for Learning frames every lesson around one firm, standards-aligned goal and five flexible components that make that goal accessible to all learners: methods, materials, assessments, the learning environment, and student reflection. This session clarifies the purpose of each component, highlights practical “look-fors” that signal strong alignment, and guides participants through an interactive planning process. By the end, participants will audit or redesign a current lesson to include multiple pathways for engagement, representation, and expression.

Objectives

  • Identify and describe the five components of a universally designed lesson.
  • Apply the UDL design process to align goals with flexible methods, materials, assessments, and environments.
  • Analyze an existing lesson to identify barriers and reimagine it using UDL principles.
