Target Audience: Teaching staff and anyone else involved in student learning

This is a live in-person event.  There is no waiting list.

This studio-style workshop supports educators in applying Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to their own teaching materials. Participants will bring existing resources (e.g., lesson plans, assessments, learning activities, or slides) and receive structured guidance on how to revise them using UDL principles. Through facilitated activities, examples, and peer discussion, the session focuses on making intentional design choices that increase flexibility, reduce barriers to learning, and support diverse learners. The workshop is practice-oriented and designed to help participants leave with concrete, UDL-aligned revisions they can implement in their teaching.  Please bring some course materials that you would like to align with UDL principles, to the session.

Course Outcomes/Objectives;

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Apply UDL principles to review and revise their own teaching materials.
2. Design learning activities or resources that offer multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression.
3. Justify their design choices using UDL as a framework for inclusive teaching.
